Belle told me last night that she has been hankering for some barbequed chicken, and that sounds like a good idea. I haven't cranked up the charcoal pit in about a year, and it's time.
First order of business this morning was to evict the red wasps that tend to homestead a pit when it is left unattended for months. I gingerly removed some grates, dumped in some charcoal, and lit a fire. That generally accelerates the eviction process. While the wasps were packing, I went to the grocers and picked up two medium fryers. I like a bird running between 3-4 pounds for the process.
Returning home, I got out the poultry shears, spatchcocked the birds and seasoned them well with Tony's seasoning. They will go on the pit, indirect cooking, in a few minutes.
I'm not a big fan of putting barbeque sauce on chicken, but Belle likes it. One bird will be sauced, one won't. We will put together some potato salad and lunch will be served at noon.

One of my favorite parts about summer are all the various cold-salads you get to try. There's a blog-post idea, post some recipes!
made up some chicken for cooking on the grill this one time ,and I was half in the bag (6-7) beers in. dumped a bunch of spices on a plate and filled a small bowel of olive oil. dip in the oil and drop and pat on the spices. EVERYONE said it was the best tasting/smelling chicken I ever made. I have not be able to do that again.
and not for lack of trying either.
don't know what I did right. but even the neighbors dogs where at the fence drooling.
it was that damn good. grilled chicken is always good. dave in pa.
Yum!!!
My spouse is allergic to most peppers including tame 'ol bell peppers. Talk about putting a crunch on Cajun dishes!! All have to be done in pairs, one with and one without.
