Okay folks this is how we cook some of the best chicken you have ever tasted.
It's so simple and easy you really can't mess it up.

1 whole young chicken
1lb of thin sliced bacon

Rub:
salt
crushed red pepper
Lawry's seasoned salt
BBQ spice




Take young chicken and stuff the bacon under the skin across the breast and back.

Mix your rub with equal parts and apply all over the chicken.

Fire up your barrel cooker (if you dont have one deduct 10 points from ypur man card until you buy or make one).
I use plain Kingsford because it burns consistently every time. None of that easy light crap, use a chimney starter like god intended.

Shove your hook in your chicken.

Heat your barrel to 300-325f and hang yer chicken.


Altamaha white BBQ sauce:
Mix 1/2 cup of lime juice
Cayenne pepper
Crushed red pepper in a sauce pan
Bring to boil, the simmer to reduce to about 1/2.
Then add 1/2 cup of honey
1tsp vinegar
2tsp brown sugar
1tsp white sugar
4tsp yellow mustard
Mix well and let it sit while chicken cooks

After about 1 hour, toss a cup of wood pellets into the coals.

After about an hour and a half of cooking give it a good first basting with the Altamaha sauce and stick it back in.

Hit it again with the sauce every 15 minutes, until it has been cooking for 2-2 1/2 hours.
Crank the heat up to 375-400 for the last 10 minutes to make the caramelized sauce. crispy.
Pull it and let rest for a few minutes.

Now you are eating like a swamper.

I'm with you 2sharp2; If it's got BACON on it, it gotta taste good. In TEXAS we have a simple recipe.

• 1st. Cut that chicken in half
• season both sides and under the skin with a mixture of :

salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, a little garlic powder and Camino.
* Cover and put it in the ice box over night to marinate .
Next day make you a good bed of hot coal with some Texas Mesquite or other state Mesquite on one side of your pit. It can be any kind of smoker or grill with a lid. Mine is about 5' long horizontally with a 3' vertical pit on one end, built in an L.
Throw those chicken halves skin side up on the hottest part and shut the lid. You need to watch it a little for the first 15-30 minutes and then move it down a little way from the hot coals and let it cook and smoke for about an hour or more. You can keep moving it down away from the mesquite where it can just smoke. If I cook a lot of chicken I just move them up to the vertical part of the smoker to finish them off and let them set. Break out some cold beer and enjoy.

I have a very simple bbq sauce but I can't tell you what's in it as I sold the rights to it and signed a non disclosure statement. I will say that if you are ever in Luling, Texas, stop in at City Market and try their bbq and sauce; it's the same. Everyone in Texas knows City Market in Luling Texas.
I can tell ya that is doesn't have honey, mayo or any tropical fruit.

I'm familiar with southwestern food.

Cumin (Cumino in Spanish) makes everything taste like a taco, smells like sweat and is overpowering.
So is Mesquite.
Hickory and Oak is the way to go.
The smoke and sauce need to compliment the meat, not overwhelm it.

I'll do some ribs with a Carolina red sauce in a few days.
No secret recipes here, just good eatin'.

Stick with me @Taichungman .
This ole southern boy will show
how to take your cooking to the next level.

Go ahead and apologize to mama in advance.

Sure know how make a guy hungry Bad Ninga!! Going to try this one

I thought this Grilling and Smoking thread was to post some recipes that we were familiar with, not to attack others. Every area of the country has their way of cooking. Some may not like it but there is no need to be disrespectful.

Relax bro.
Just friendly some ribbing.

Texans should be able handle it... unless they are from Austin.

 

[Taichungman]

That's one thing we can agree on..Austin....running others down to make yourself feel good is not friendly.

 

[2sharp2]

FOOD FIGHT! BACON, BACON, BACON~

Never been a fan of the flavor Mesquite wood gives food!

I'm coming to the Swamp, oh and Ninja I want some of that fried catfish you make to...

I'm overdue for some catfish.

I need to clean out my chest freezer.

Show him how to cook Altamaha chicken.
One bite and he will see you are the Alpha.
You may even get a raise.
Women will want you and men will want to be you.😎
Or you could quit, and start your own business like I did 30 years ago.
👍
But still make the chicken.
Trust me on that part.
😁
