    Smokers Paradise (for all the smokers and BBQ lovers)

    Welcome to the thread, sorry for the delay. For an easy never fail smoker chicken, I like a dry brine then cook at 350 for about 1 hour. I follow this for wings, thighs (bone in and skin on) and whole birds. Sometimes it might take a bit more time if you have a big bird.

    also wanted to post this link to my new favorite brine recipe, it’s a dry brine. I only do this brine now for all things poultry related, nothing beats this recipe. Gives you the crispiest skin and moist juicy meat. I have had my brine on the birds for up to two or three days, I would say the...

    Hi all! Sorry I haven’t been around and have neglected this thread. We no longer have chickens, it’s a long story, but we haven’t had any for about 6 months. I do miss them and all their personalities, I also miss the fresh eggs. Store bought eggs suck, although I do find Alfesco Farms Pastured...

    funny you said that, I have made it with Dr. Pepper before as we didn't have beer on hand. Did you notice any flavor from the pop? I can't say I did, but it was moist.

    Smokers Paradise (for all the smokers and BBQ lovers)

    Wow I have never heard either of those things and have made this style of chicken for at least 20 times in the last 4 years. I have never gotten ill. As far as the flavor that gets infused into the chicken it definitely varies depending on the type of beer. I also don't think the point is to...

    Yum that looks good, how was it? Yes it was fantastic, much better than beer. Not that a beer can chicken isn't good just the flavor and tenderness of the bird seemed more pronounced with the cider. I was wondering if it was the sugar content in the cider compared to the beer.... Haven't been...

    Welcome to the thread Ralphie, glad you found us. As far as brining, I have done it various ways, sometimes I brine, sometimes I don't. For things like turkey, hams, some pork dishes, I will brine. One of my favorite ways to have chicken is on the Traeger, beer can chicken, 350 degrees for 1...
