Chicken legs & thighs done good & crispy

I did not take a lot of pic's. I cooked these cut up leg quarters high in the dome using the AR and the AR extender and the oval grid. I had the 14 inch stone and drip pan on the lower level. So, indirect 400 till 180 about 45 min's. Then I pulled the AR and placed the spider and ci grid on it and seared the chicken 5 min's turn 5 min's and pulled them off. Very very good and crispy still juicy but da definitely crispy skin. We also used hickory and raging river. Just how we like it! :P

The AR is also known as the adjustable rig. It along with many other goodies can be purchased from the

All made from food grade stainless steel.
Here is the AR with the extender on top and the oval grid.
Here is the spider with the modified medium ci grid that works wonderful I might add.

Got to try that. Looks good....Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

Thanks Grumpa, At first I thought I would do as I normally do which is let them come to close to 205 but, instead I brought them to close to 180 then I grilled them on the spider less than 5 min's each side. I think you should be careful when doing it this way because you can over cook the quarters and get a tough outer meat. Like I said I did well and ate like a pig! :P
-
wow looking good. Great job.

Thanks Steve it worked well for me. I would be careful because it could wind up being over cooked. My burning lump was less than an inch from the ci grid on the spider. Tim

They were nice thanks and the corn and bean salad was Cindy's deal along with some white rice and budder and S&P. :P -
Thanks Miss Molly!
-
Nice looking legs and thighs.

Thanks Kent. It worked fantastic. Just be sure not to dry them out. I kept the dome at 400 till 180IT about 45 min's. Then I crisped them up a tad more knowing I can take them to 200-205 with out drying them out to bad. You know me I am always working on a way to get crispy eatable skin on a chick. :woohoo: Tim
I hope that wasn't vulgar to your ears -
Thanks my mouth enjoyed eating dem. :P Tim
-
Yea Mickey. I did it with hickory chunks and Raging River. Yum yum
-
Thanks Miss Patti.
-
That chicken looks nice and crispy Tim, I think I'll try it with some Hispanic seasoning that I have Sazonador para Pollo Made by Chef Merito

Nice looking chicken you got there. I really like my thighs and legs cooked to a high internal. I really enjoy the flavor that way.
-
Those do look tasty! Great job!
-
Sounds interesting Ross. I'll have to see some pic's of the finished product. Tim
-
Thanks Todd they were um um good! :P Tim
-
I'm with you on the high internal temp's cooking the chick quarters. I like the texture and flavor you get from it. To top it off excellent crispy skin. I could go now and make some more. :P
-
Nice looking chicken parts. We love our chicken and so many good ways to cook it. So many ways to change the flavor. Good Eats buddy.
