Hiya folks...

I have two 5-ish pound chickens, spatchcocked and brining...
hopefully later today I can smoke them on the old style Egg. I am
brining them, for flavor - just to see how it works out.. I've tried
the spatchcock without the brine and it was right tasty... but thought
I would check it out this way as well.

So... sometimes when I smoke the chickens... the skin is nice a
crispy-crunchy and u can bite right through it... other times it is
kinda rubbery and not yummy at all. Is this a cookign temp. thing? Do
I need to cook it a bit more to get the crispy crunchy skin?

Tips... advice...

appreciated.

thanks

This is why chicken takes three days...
Brine it. If you have the time, set it uncovered in the fridge overnight to
dry the skin otherwise set it in front of a fan. Cook it at 300-350.

You should quote some of the material you're replying to, newbie, so
we know what in the blue-eyed froggy world you're talking about.

HTH. HAND.

Why in the world would I want to quote some guy's .sig? The post was
directed at the OP. If you had read OP's post you would have noticed his
..sig, then when you saw my post you would know *exactly* what in the
blue-eyed froggy world I was talking about.
I've pretty much stayed away from your diatribes ever since FM drove you
into another world so I'll let the 'newbie' slide.

Um, Hound? Look down there on the ground. I think you dropped
something. Looks like your sense of humor.

I don't do smilies. Sometimes, the downside is that some folks Just
Don't Get It. <shrug> I can live with that, if it means not using
smilies.

I knew exactly what you were talking about. In fact, my first chuckle
of the day was seeing you chide someone about a warlordable .sig and
signing it "Hound S. Wilson." So I thought I'd follow-up with the only
thing I could find in your (amusing) post that was suitable for
chiding you about: its lack of context.

Why would a regular refer to you as a newbie? The "newbie" was the
clue that I was joking. See how that works?

I know, I'm sorry <gag>, missed a bbq-centric joke over in houston.eats
referencing afb the other day. Must be getting a mite crotchety in my
dotage.
That or I should stop posting while sober. I refrain from the smiley most
times too, seems a bit of a set up, but this is non-verbal communication,
ain't it?
