  • Pre-order my book here: amzn.to/2n7hIr6 "Fried Chicken" on the Pit Barrel Cooker? Yes! That thing ROCKS "Pit Fried" chicken like no other cooker! This chicken was BETTER than KFC! Juicy, tender with a crispy crust plus a little smoke and none of the grease!

    This was a simple cook. First I mixed together:
    1 1/2 cups A.P. flour
    1 cup panko bread crumbs
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    2 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons black pepper
    2 teaspoons paprika
    2 teaspoons PBC A.P. Rub
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    I dredged the chicken in cornstarch, then dipped the pieces in Club Soda. From the soda, I rolled them in my breading.
    I had the PBC set with the bottom damper FULLY opened. I put the grate in, just before adding the chicken and I did not use the rebar during this cook. Once they got a nice golden brown color, I flipped the pieces and continued cooking until they reached 175ºF internal.

    I made this on a traeger pellet grill last night and it came out fantastic! 375 degrees, flipped the chicken at 25 and 50 minutes. Chicken was done at 50 minutes but I decided to spray the chicken with canola cooking oil spray and turn the grill to 400 for another 10 minutes. Crisp and crunchy, extremely tender and juicy. The only other change was 1 tsp of black pepper instead of 2 but added 1/2 tsp of cayenne to kick up the spice.

    Finally got around to making this after wanting to try it for 2+ years. For all intents and purposes, it came out amazing. Perfect golden brown, juicy, good flavor. But.. I have mixed feelings. The skin comes out really tough cooking it this way. Unlike normal fried chicken, it's really hard to tear through with your teeth. The breading, while delicious, has very little adhesion to the skin and falls off easily (there is no binder like egg, so no surprise there). I ended up just eating the chicken meat and picking the breading off with my fingers. I think this would be a much better recipe with the skin removed, and just breading the meat directly. Cooked on a Weber Summit Charcoal at 375 for about 1 hour (good temp for this cook). The only change I made was swapping 1tsp of paprika for an extra tsp of rub.. I think this was a good idea. I also think the club soda thing is a bit gimmicky... it completely stops fizzing after the first or second piece of chicken, so it really has no effect at all on the rest of the pieces. Just dipping it in murky water once all the carbonation is gone.

    Have to comment,, I followed fairly closely and cooked these on my weber and they turned out awesome, crispy juicy and smokey ,, had family over and daughter in-law actually stole the skin off my sons chicken ,lol. Thumbs up from me,, I'll buy the book.

  • @Incubyss
    @Incubyss 4 роки тому +1

    Awesome video man - just subscribed! I actually did a very similar technique on some thighs I couple weeks back - didnt use any flour or club soda - just corn starch and seasonings - but cooked them HOT and fast on my Weber Kettle - Vortex in the center with some Hickory chunks - ran it around 550 for 30 mins - flipping every 15 until they were done. Golden Brown, fat rendered and that unique BBQ/Fried chicken taste together - this style of fried chicken is phenomenal and I suggest everyone try it!!

    @richardblankenship5481 3 роки тому

    I just got around to doing this and it was spectacular.
    I did mine on a 22” Weber with a Slow-n-Sear and sprayed the chicken with cooking oil at the 20 and 35-minute marks as they didn’t seem to be browning as quickly as yours did. I also had a few pieces that wouldn’t fit in the grill so I deep fried them and the were great but nowhere near as good as those from the pit.
