Hiya Tootsie,

Clearly, you're doing the wrong diet, then.

I am also losing weight but can eat my grilled and BBQ food as the emphasis of my diet is on protein. I refuse any sauce but red ones and also eat plenty of veggies. But I stay well away of low Glycemic Indexed carbohydrates and if I eat any carbs I only have the minimum.

I fill the cavity with onions and a mashed up clove of garlic and some spices and then stick the chicken on the can without any other support after I emptied the can one third. Then I carefully put it in the kettle wit
h indirect heat from 15-20 briquettes + one fist sized chunk of hardwood or fruit tree wood for that important smoke.

ThanksFreebird,
I can have chicken so will try that when the sun finally comes out.


Put the lid on and open bottom valves completely and the upper valved halfway for a temperature of about 120ºC for about 1 hour. Turn the chicken every half hour to crisp it on both sides and add two or three briquettes when doing that. It should be done in 1½ hours.

You'll have the neighbours climbing the fences if you use a nice chicken rub from the store and sprinkle it inside and out.

But remember: you ain't cooking if you keep looking!
