    Looks great. Chicken gives me the most trouble, I just can't seem to get it right.
    What temp did you cook at?

    Go it indirect....and don’t exceed 165 internal temp. Safe method....keep trying brother.

    I go 375-400* raised direct. Put the breasts on first for 15 minutes before the dark meat. Using a thermopen, get the breast to 160 and the thigh and legs to 180 IT. At the last 10 minutes I drop them to the main grid and open the vents some to get the skin crispy. Oh and season then ahead with at least salt and let them dry in the fridge uncovered for 4 hours or more. This is about a 50 to 60 minute cook for me but tonight it
    was closer to 50 minutes

    Love me some yardbird. That’s how I do mine these days, raised direct. Looks delicious!

    That looks really good! Love the color!!

    Raised direct, 400° for me. Flipping from time to time. T-pen for temp. Had two large chicken breasts last night. Grilled both and ate one for dinner. It was good. Forgot about the other one and it sat out on the counter all night before I moved it to the trash. Oh well. Glad it was just chicken and nothing fancy. 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
