Chicken

[smurfy]

OK so following the meat sales thread I see sales for yard bird more often then not for cut up chickens! personally I am a whole chicken fan. I love chicken cooked pretty much any which way as well as no preference to white or dark meat.

so whats everyone elses thoughts! 

[RebelSS]

Nothing like a well-seasoned bird with a beer can up its butt. 

[smurfy]

that's about the only way I haven't cooked on!!!!! i'd have a hard time wasting a perfectly good beer!!!!!!!!

[Dotch]

I like the idea of grilling whole chickens but Mrs. Cheviot is not a chicken fan. The old, "had too much chicken growing up" song and dance.  Luckily she's not always around so I can get the rotisserie out and go from there. Leftover city!

you don't get the chicken oysters with a cut up bird.

Favorite is chicken scallopini. The only part of the chicken I wont eat is the drum sticks, I would probably eat a tomatoe ( and I don't eat tomatoes ) before a drumstick. The other favorite part of the chicken is the liver, heart and gizzards.

Smurfy you can drink the beer and pour in some beef broth with garlic or use a can of Dr. Pepper also instead.  The part of the chicken you see least on add are the wings.  Parts like drumsticks and thighs are on sale the most I think.  I also like a whole fryer but I've been spatchcocking them lately.  I think you see more whole chickens in the fall through spring time span and more parts during the summer.  good luck.

both good!

The drumstick is the first thing I go for, then the thigh on a chicken. There is nothing better then a leg quarter barbecued on the grill.

Throwing smoke at a whole bird sitting on a beer can is my fav.  You should try it smurf with the tube you earned. Next is thighs. In other words our chicken has to be bone in for grilling.  Good point cooper, while the ladies eat up the breast meat, the boy and I take care of the rest, including the back.

I have got to do this some weekend soon, with some of the ideas given below. Since I don't care for beer much, would a rum and coke work ok while grilling?

I have never done the beer can either. need to do it sometime!  Usually grill pieces and smoke a whole bird. 

[RebelSS]

I've had to warn Smurfy twice now after he asked not to drink the beer after the chickens done.  Told him he didn't want people saying he choked the chicken.  

[Boar]

Im a leg thigh guy also but love bbqskinless breasts.. I got a beer can thingy to havent doen that yet.

Your pushing it with the livers but I eat the hearts and gizzards to but they don't help the cholesterol level. We have a good in plump right hear in town. My parents would but hearts and gizzards by the case. Brown them and kinda make a stroganoff with them except it be on taters!

[delcecchi]

That cholesterol in the diet thing turned out to be a false alarm. Just like eggs.

[RebelSS]

I don't really drink beer but have a 6 pac of bottles in the basement to make Beer batter. Do you think a bottle will work up a chicken butt?
