Does anyone on here not like chicken in some form or fashion? I love it about anyway fixed. Dark meat is my preference.
Boasted white meat with lots of salt
Does KFC count? :)
I can do leg quarters on the grill that will slap your taste buds. It takes about 45 minutes and I swap them side of the grill to the other side turning off the side they are on. Baking indirectly but the grease burns when I turn the burner back on smoking them.
They brown perfectly and there is no fat left on them and the skin is delicious!
It seems like they always have 10 bags of leg quarters on sale too.

Now dat's much better. :)
There must be a gazillion different ways to prepare chicken. I don't think I have tried any I don't like, well maybe except greasy KFC. ;D
Guess I got my liking for dark meat when I was growing up. My grandfather lived with us and had a big chicken house. We would get about three bushels of eggs a day and had a machine with a light that you watched the eggs go by and then it sorted them according to size.
Then we peddled them off out of an old van. Had a route and most of the houses new what day we came and always had me a bag of candy. I was around 4 or 5 then. Better than haloween because they knew what I liked.
Getting back to the chicken papaw knew exactly when a chicken was not producing good and they got the butcher knife. Sunday dinner was usually chicken and the adults got the white meat and the kids the dark. Don't remember exactly but some of the chickens would have eggs in the making in them. Papaw always got them because he loved them.
Good ole drunken chicken on the grill seasoned with garlic salt,onion powder, black pepper and cayenne. 5lb bird for about 2- 21/2 hours under indirect heat. Nice and crispy outside and moist an tender inside. :)
Chicken is a main staple here for us, and to think, we even eat chicken before they hatch ;D one of the few animals that produce while they are being fed,,

Kind of like what a member wrote on here a week or so back.
"You can shear a sheep many times, but you can only skin it once!"
My favorite meat in chicken (or turkey) is the dark meat, seems to be more moist!
I like to buy whole ones inject them with creole butter then put them in the smokehouse .

You got a picture of your smoke house? That really interest me. Thanks! :)
My smokehouse looks like a trash can. A metal one. ;D
I'm doing another trash can turkey tomorrow and warming a ham in the Pizza oven. I'll have the can elevated just enough off the ground to put Pecan Planer shavings on the coals for some smoke to work its way in there. There will be plenty of food if y'all want or could make it down.
Had some delicious chicken for supper. K coated some breasts with Panko crumbs, chili flakes and a few spices then baked them. They were really flavorful with a bit of a bite.
Chicken? Anyway my wife cooks it. I was single far too long to not enjoy a good cook's delights.
However, Turkey? That's my job ever since we bought a fryer. Never had such moist white meat before the fryer. I'll fry up two tomorrow for a supply for the family for days.
We eat far more chicken than red meat anymore.
poston I am not good with computers and do not have a camera so the young guys I hunt with are going to come over later and have a go at posting pictures. I built it out of 8 inch concrete block, its 4 ft inside and 9 courses high.it started for venison sausage then we tried different meats with great results.
I like the white meat. I prefer my meat on the dry side. So chicken and turkey work good for me.
