Smoked Chicken On The Pit Barrel Cooker

[@millenialbroadcast]

James, as usual, your food looks unbelievably DELICIOUS! Great cook and thanks for the little tidbits you give to your subscribers! I learn something every time I watch ✌🏾

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Thanks so much!

[@Dadzilla2]

Looks good. I'm actually cooking a chicken on my PBC right now. But i decided to use the hooks. As I speak the outside temp is 200 and the breast temp is 105. I inserted temp probs through the holes for the rebar. When it's just about done I'm going to take it off and put some bbq sauce on the chicken. I didn't do any kind of an injection.
I've been watching all kinds of videos for the PBC. All of them seemed very helpful. Haven't had much of a chance to use my PBC. I bought it for myself at Christmas. But now with the Corina virus happening I have all the time in the world, and today the weather seems just right for it.

thank you!!!!!!!

[@Texas2.5]

Watched! Liked! Even watched the ad for ya! Small way to say thanks for great content. Every little bit helps.
Great looking bird, and I love the sauce bottle instead of brush tip! Makes great sense.

That chicken looked so good I could almost taste it. Great video James. Love your videos brother

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Perfect chicken bro. I've never tried the infection before on chicken, only turkey. But man I have got to try this our next time. Awesome job bro!

[@thegrumpyolgringo]

I guess, once a competition cook, always a competition cook. And why not, if you know how, go ahead and take a few extra minutes, to make it the best possible, right?? Good butchering demo. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

[@stephanieyeminez89]

Good idea about the cardboard . I just got a whole chicken myself. I'm going to do jack and coke with a lemon pepper peach bbq rub. I'll be using my Rose Red Weber kettle. It all depends if its going to be windy here. Lol have a great day.

[@BushiBato]

thank you for a good chicken cook vid.i've been remiss in cooking at least leg quarters from the cheapo but goodie bag at the market,or of course whole bird when its on sale.This nails the rare art of roasting a chicken perfectly,leg meat cooked through,yet breast perfectly juicy and with the better grain or texture that only is found in a narrow temp range.saludos from Cali as usual,i'm sharing this on my FB since it is so solid a technique.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate you sharing the video.

[@jack551953]

Loved the video; heading to La. for a 1st time BCA event. We use a Pit Barrel for SCA competitions. Never done a 1/2 chicken. 1st check was 40 minutes; glaze was 5 but app. what was total. btw. I am a grate guy too!

Thanks Jack! Appreciate you stopping by.

Mr FSU I wouldn’t go more than 24hrs personally.

[@benbryce2788]

my man, that looks delicious !!!

[@williammontgomery4427]

So james, you are not going to do too much trimmin. Problem is you always want to do it to a high standard, which you always do. Looks great. Cheers.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

That is true, but sometimes less isn't a bad thing.

[@smokindiazbbq.2605]

bro jame, where did u get the wire to hold the skin. did u buy them or made them urself

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I made them myself. That’s one of my BBQ secrets. I’m actually thinking about doing a video series where I give out some of my secrets and tips. Stay tuned😉

Harry soo, chicken rub is good also..great video james.

[@tomevans5458]

I've only hung my chicken halves on the PBC. Will try this method next time. What sauce did you use?

[@95SLE]

Nice UA-cam video to start my day. I am cooking a chicken on the WSM today. Couple of questions. What brand of scissors are you using? Why did you trim all the fat off the chicken?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

95SLE The scissors I use are the DEXTER brand scissors. I trim the fat because I don’t want that to be something I eat. Most of the fat I trimmed off will not render out.

[@95SLE]

@@CentralTexasGrilling I ordered the scissors on Amazon. I was looking for a decent pair of scissors and Dexter brand looks like it is up to the task of a chicken. Another product question: Who make the food prep tray you use?

@15:24 you can see the leg bone is bloody when he separates the leg and thigh. Way to go champ

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

[@BuckeyeBackyardBBQ]

Awesome cook ! Question any idea why smoked meats seem to have a stronger smoked flavor the next day after leftovers have sat in the fridge over night?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

You know, I've notice the same thing. When you smoke something the smoke acts as a preservative to help meats last longer. I think the longer it sits the more time that smoke has time to set in.

[@thebigbeardedcook187]

what's really happening is you are "numb" to smoke flavor and the smell as you have been around it day. When you step away from it, and come back to it, your senses pick it up

[@tomworkman3219]

James, great video. You commented about pinning down the skin so it will not draw back during the smoke. I noted in the video you used what looked like a curved stainless steel "needle-like" skewer. Can you describe what you actually used? Thanks, Tom

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I use a metal whisk. I'm planning on making a video showing how I make them.

[@tomworkman3219]

[@erobin2112]

Love the video james...excellent as always. One question...since when is the wing dark meat? Did I miss something?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

erobin2112 Yeah, I kinda misspoke on that one but hopefully people understand what I was getting at. Unlike the breast meat, the wing usually doesn’t come out as dry.

[@erobin2112]

Yeah,that looked like some juicy chicken.

[@mikecha1957]

Oh yeah good stuff right there. How was the skin? I know it can be tough to get the skin right.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

The skin was actually pretty good. Not as rubbery as they normally can be.

[@scottcupp6654]

Liked your video, but wanted to correct you about the wing. Both the flat and drumettes are concidered white meat. But love your video and will try that injection.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]
