My take on Road-side Chicken. With Q-vid

[mdboatbum]

Haven't done any video editing in a long time, so forgive me. Also, my grill looks pretty awful. I'd used it a couple days before and had doused the coals with water, leaving a film all over the inside. I've since cleaned it, I promise!!

Anyway, here's my guess at the recipe for either Cornell or Road-side chicken. Turned out pretty dang tasty.

Were those bone in thighs?

Cool vid!

Id eat that bird!

But why did you douse your coals with water? Cant you just put the lid on and close your vents on your Joe? That works for me and I can re-use the coals! That there grill just looks well seasoned. Nothing wrong with that.

We live in an apartment and the only place to grill/smoke is in a public park. I used to leave it to cool down, but then my first mini WSM was stolen on Christmas Day a few years back. So now I just pour a gallon of water on the coals and dump them in the bushes, then bring everything right back up to the apartment.

Here is my variation of Cornell Chicken, done by our local fire department, and called "Fireman's Chicken"

This is the original Cornell Chicken marinade by Dr. Baker, the scientist who bred the first 'broilers', (smaller and leaner than the fryer):
