My wife, nephew and I had a wonderful dinner tonight. *yeah*
I did two chickens with two different rubs. The one on the left is Jeff's rub. It was very good but can hardly wait to coat some ribs with it. The one on the right is just Cavender's Greek Seasoning. (I fixed that left wing btw) If you haven't tried Cavender's, you should! It goes great on everything except fish IMO. The potatoes are supposed to help keep the steam and moisture in from the beer can. I don't know if it acually helps or not but I figure it can't hurt?
I think they were actually a little over cooked? I pulled them off the smoker when the breast said 186. I wasn't watching close enough to get them at 186 I guess. I had problems with my temp gauges. I'll post a question about that in a different location. Then, I had forgot to start the side dish of Jalapeno Scalloped Potatoes on time so the chickens were ready an hour and half to soon. The potatoes were well worth the wait though. Soooo good. A perfect side for chicken! Since the chickens had to wait on the potatoes, I wrapped them in tin foil right out of the smoker so I guess the temp probably went up a little from 186? I didn't think to temp it though at any point while waiting. Bummer. It was amazing how hot they stayed wrapped up like that though. After an hour and a half, I still couldn't have pulled them with bare hands I don't think. Any way, here is the finished product. They both were very tasty!
I also did some ATB's for the first time. They were AWESOME. The pics didn't turn out so good though. I'll do better with that next time. And... ohhh there will be a next time. I can't think of why I would smoke anything without throwing on some!!! So so good!
