Want Rotisserie - Turns out as Smoked Chicken!
Comments (5)slucci, What do you mean by raw? Smoke meat does look red, but not raw. What was the temperature and where did you take the reading? The thermometer should read 180 when inserted in the thickest part of the thigh without touching bone. 90 minutes is quick unless it was a small bird. It normally takes me at least 2 hours with a five pound bird straight from the refrigerator. If using a frozen bird, especially if quickly thawed in a microwave, be VERY certain its completely thawed. It will not cook correctly if the breast is thawed but the centers of the thighs are still frozen. Leave the lid on and do place a drip pan under the bird. Also the bird should not be directly over the coals. Rather the coals should be off to one side either to the front or back, parallel with the spit. I haven't owned a kettle style grill, but I believe bricks are placed under the chicken to keep the coals to the side. carlcarter, You should have started a new thread to change topics. The nature of your questions suggests you do not have the knowledge to run the gas line safely, please hire a professional. If youÂre still tempted to do it yourself remember your insurance company will deny any claims resulting form an improper installation and you could be charged with criminal negligence if someone gets hurts or dies as a result of a leak from your DIY installation....See MorePix of Our Smoked Chicken
Comments (19)I smoke salt. I live by the ocean and we have a party once a year and make salt. A couple of wading pools, fill with ocean water and leave covered loosely until the salt blooms and the water evaporates, dry it. That takes a while. All summer if we put too much seawater into the pools. Then I smoke some of it and give it out to friends and stuff. They love it but I don't really. But I do smoke cheese, cheddar mostly. Those of you that can things could modify this method: Lightly smoke some salmon and then place in canning jars, add 1 tablespoon of home made salsa and one thumbnail sized paring of hot pepper (I use habenero) and can the salmon as usual. Makes wonderful antipasto, subbing the hot smoky salmon for tuna. You haven't had all the types of baked beans until you have had baked beans done in the smoker. What else...mac and cheese is real good out of the smoker. Smoked veggie salads are good, grill them and finish in the smoker with mild wood. If you have access to semi cured sausages you can hang them to dry further and then finish them off with more smoke. Takes a commercial soppresetta (sp?) and makes it great. I'll quit for a while, lol. Don't want to appear to be turning this into a smoker forum....See MoreThe Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs tasted great....
Comments (16)"Major EEEWWWWSSS !!!!!" EXACTLY! Sharon, I think you are rubbing off on me.... I have started putting raw scrambled eggs through a fine sieve jsut so I can trap the chalaza (shudder!) and toss them out rather than have them ever show up where they could be SEEN! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I also have been fishing them out of fried eggs and leaving them on the side of my plate. If there are eggs in a baked product, I just convince myself that there is no way it ended up in the piece I am eating. LOLOLOLOL! And there is nothing at all wrong with eating eggs OR chicken thighs as they come ffrom the bird.... as Sharon mentioned, it is all psychological!

Comments (6)I imagine that sleevendog actually knows more than I do on this subject, but she forgot to cover part and some kind of typo hid the other. You put the foil pack directly on the burner cover. The chicken generally is placed on an unheated area of the grill. My grill thermometer broke many years ago. I set my burner/burners on medium low and I can often go 90 minutes or so. I hardly ever do the chips/smoke thing and I usually finish by lightly brushing some sauce on during the last 5 minutes, sometimes with the sauced chicken on the heat for a minute or two per side. It is not necessary. The smoking will probably help but I don't think it should really be called smoking. That is probably better left for a cooler smoker for several/many hours....See MoreUser
