Chicken & Veggies on the Bronco
I split a couple of yard birds and started them dry brining last night. One got Willingham’s Wham and the other got Dizzy Pig Mad Max Turkey seasoning. Lit the Bronco at 3:30pm today. This is how I light it for hotter cooks using 2 fire starters.
I let that go 30 min with the lid up and vents fully open to get things going, then added a fist sized hickory chunk, 1/3 section of the triple grate and 2 meat hangers. I didn’t use the heat diffuser this time, and didn’t notice any difference in flavor, which I considered good news. I let this preheat, then got the chicken on at 4:15pm.
At 5pm I added some baby bok choy we got from Misfit Market that I grilled per Girls Can Grill, tho I was cooking at 325F and went 20 min total. This was after 10 min:
Then flipped and went 10 more:
It was a fun cook, and EVERY time I do barrel chicken the wife and kid go nuts. That Wham seasoning is the bomb, and I’ll be doing a smaller turkey soon with the Mad Max, my daughter loved it. We’re already thinking up dishes for leftovers, I’m voting for a buffalo chicken dip!
