Drillbit Chicken

February 14, 2018, 07:30 PM

Bought a package of leg quarters on the cheap this morning. As I was thinking about hanging in the PBC, I decided to hang from the end of the drumstick by drilling a hole to accommodate the hanger. The picture shows what the leg quarters looked like with the hangers in. Cooked for 90 minutes smoking with apple wood, took off the PBC at 165 in the thigh. Hands down the juiciest chicken I ever had!

I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

No, just the first bit I could find that looked big enough for the hanger.

Very cute, andy.wpg . I'd hate to buy a "culinary drill" for only one purpose.

Well done! Watch the video Noah does for lamb on the PBC site. He drills a lamb shank.
