Chicken - C/F :-)

Hi Eggers,


Fairly new to the egging, and would like to share my recent cook. 
I cooked a whole chicken on the MiniMax.  In the last stage of the cook (19:45 >) I wondered why it took so long to reach the final/target temp: around 175F.

Apparently I made an awful rookie mistake: At 20.05 I found out that the Igrill displayed the temp in C and changed it to F. I had forgotten that for my previous cook I adjusted the Igrill2 settings to measure in Celsius :-) 

The chicken was rubbed with simply only some olive oil and salt. I cooked the chicken semi-indirect at 380-400F with the Woo and dripping pan in place. The dripping pan was filled with salt to prevent the drippings from burning. 

Even-though the chicken stay'd ca. 30min too long in the egg, the results were close to awesome. The meet was still moist, except for the breast-part which was a little dry.

Please find below some pics! Cheers for looking,

/a proud egg-member
