Hangin’ A Chicken On The Bronco….

[Panhead John]

A few new Bronco owners posted about doing a chicken and made me realize I haven’t done one in a year or so…hung on the Bronco that is. Here’s how this fascinating story goes down 🙄 Shockingly, I marinated it in….Good Seasons Italian Dressing sprinkled with Tony’s! Marinated it for about 4 hours, cooked it with a large chunk of mesquite for 2 hours. I left the vents wide open for most of the cook. It was done at around 350* - 375* for the majority of the cook.

Marinating in the Good Seasons



Used all hot coals to start the cook




Surprisingly the Bronco thermometer was very accurate. It helps if you place your probe close to the Bronco’s probe to obtain greater accuracy.






Is it just me, or do all cooked chickens look like they were “posed” by a serial killer?


Served with cabbage and dirty rice



Came out tender and juicy! The Bronco and PBC are chicken machines!

Looks delicious and that's how they look. But I gotta ask. In the 3rd picture, did you forget to trim something off?

That sure does look like it might be a rooster

I bet that yardbird was juicy and delicious. I'm still laughing at the chicken's pose though. Only you can crack me up over a chicken cook. Thanks for the laugh along with the great info for future Bronco chicken cookers.
