Poultry on Pellet Grill

Postby OldUsedParts » Fri Apr 29, 2016 10:53 am

Anyone got a good "juicy" recipe for doing a young 6.5 # sheekan on a Pellet Grill ??? I usually do beer can birds over charcoal on the ECB but I'm wanting to use the Pelletizer this time. Thanks in Advance :tup:

I would definitely recommend brining it or injecting it (if you don't want the skin to be rubbery). Here's my bird brine:

Chicken Brine- 4-6 lbs. of chicken
1 pint (or 2 cups) chicken & garlic broth
1 pint (or 2 cups) water
¼ cup Kosher salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
Juice from 2 lemons

Brine the bird (fully submerged in the brine) for 8 hours. You this brine as an injection too. If you inject let it marinate in the injection for several hours. This is where you'll get most of your flavor. The seasoning (of your choice) will not have much impact on a whole bird.

If you inject don't pierce the skin.

I cook my whole birds at about 325. Depending on the size they are usually done in 1 hour 15 minutes.

Let us know how it turns out.

That's a big chicken. I'd inject it, spatchcock it, rub it with your favorite rub, and cook at 350F until the breast is 165F.

thanks, Gents, I may have to toss a coin with so many suggestions. Brining would be new to me also. I'll let Y'all know what I decide on this Bird and thanks again. :salut:

better late than never,....
use the brine of your choice, and get either bone in or boneless skinless chicken breasts, brine for about one hour or hour and a half, then rinse, rinse, rinse, and rinse again..
season with your favorite seasoning, and cook to an internal temp of 155, this is still on the rare side, then jack the heat up to about 300 to 350, in a small pan or the microwave warm your choice of apple jelly or your favorite pepper jelly so that it is just liquefied, brush on liberally after the skin crisps (usually about 15 minutes) and the internal temp hit 160 degrees, after brushing on the jelly sprinkle some chopped pecans on top....

I saw that, and although like I posted late to the party, but wanted to give you some ideas, that apple jelly or jalapeño works wonders on top of your seasoning... :D

I think you'll like them, especially with the pepper jelly, if it is too hot for your wife, use the apple jelly, if the apple jelly is not hot enough for you, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on the ones for you, to add a little extra zip....
good deal on the leg pullin... the beauty of the pellet cooker is the variable temperature and the accuracy of the cook, it is essentially as accurate as your kitchen oven only it uses wood for fuel. Meat cooked over wood has a better taste as far as I am concerned, but it is not worth all the trouble and extra effort not to mention the wood pile mess and the problems that come with it, I'm getting lazy in my old age, some $$ and ups shows up with my wood, no ash to speak of, open a bag and load the smoker :pig:

Just finished the Bird on the Pellet and I am pleased with the cook time, taste and moisture. :tup:
I brined it overnight with a mixture of Blu's and Fin's recipes and used some of the Rub I had in the house that needs to be used. The "only" thing I would do differently next time is to ignore the Wiffy and include some heat spices which I left out entirely this time per her request. When I use the leftovers the heat will be added to my portion.

Cooked it for an hour on Smoke (140 to 150) with the Amazn flat in the bottom of the Grill under the drip pan - - - I like that real well.

After the first hour I increased it to 250 for an hour and then finished it at 350 the last hour.

Returned to grill and pulled it at 165
