gooey sticky breasts

[fxsales1959]

It's probably been about 10 years since I had good 'ol chicken cooked on charcoal. Since I picked up the little Smokey Joe I've been thinking about it. First thought I'd get an 8 piece cut up chicken. Glad I didn't. My usual store didn't have any precut, so I picked up 3 honkin' bone-in skin on breasts. I remember as a kid Dad would always make chicken on the Sunbeam grill with gooey glazed BBQ sauce. It was a treat. So glad I didn't try the whole chicken on a 14" grill. The one thing about these little webers is, no matter how much charcoal you think you need... It's too much. 2/3 chimney, pushed to the side. 1/2 cook with breasts on the other side. Flipped to skin down directly over the coals, then flipped when skin crisped up and glazed on cooler side.
that's all.

Nice.
There's something to be said for backyard style, grilled BBQ chicken... I believe the word is, "YUM!"

Looks fantastic, but the skin, yes sir.

Looks perfect. My Dad used to make Leg Quarters on Charcoal when I was a kid. He glazed it with Saucy Susan, similar to Duck Sauce. I should try it, haven't thought about it in a long time. Great work.

Nothing like some old school backyard grilled chicken! Yours looks great!
