Picked up some chikin on sale . By one, get one free for some bird with thighs,legs and wings removed (basically breasts and backs).

Just rubbed with salt and brushed with butter. Used cherry wood for flavour.

Turned out very moist and tender

Baby potatoes, fresh brussel sprouts cooked with chopped bacon and salad on the side.

Temps were in the 230 range for the most part. It dropped below 200 for a bit before I tossed on a small "freshen up" load of coals. Took about 5hrs total. Those breasts were THICK!

Those can be tricky to keep from drying out, but, they look perfect :thumbsup:

I wish they sold those local, as I like backs and having the breast on the bone like that would make me want to get out the deep fryer and fry a whole one.

Kinda like frying a turkey, just smaller

I just rubbed them with salt, let them stew for a few hours in the fridge, then rinsed them off real good. Patted them dry, brushed them with butter and started skin side up for an hour to cook the skin a bit first. Flipped them over and let them ride.

Between the bit of salt, butter and cherry wood smoke, they didn't need anything else on them. I would say the best bird I have done yet.
