I was a KFC franchisee for 30 years. Today, thanks to you, my poultry knowledge was expanded!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Scott! Gotta tell you, I luv me some KFC!

[@david_reynolds3660]

Great idea Jeff!!! Hope your feeling better!!! How about some Tami laughter soon!!!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks David. I have been under the weather this past week, but on the upswing now. Tami was in our Jalapeno potato video 2 weeks ago and we hope to make jerk whole fish today. Take care Brother!

[@Threadsandjars]

I've been doing this for years, but also with thighs. I think it was about 12-15 yrs ago the the price of wings went above all other poultry cuts, so for me it was easy to say, "No more!" I think it was just a finger food that most people ate and who didn't cook much. Thanks for your time and energy on this video. I also hope you feel much better. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Tina. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

[@Armadillopepper]

I never thought about thighs. Happy Thanksgiving Morgan!

[@tim71ford]

Just curious Morgan-do you open up the thighs with a knife or just cook them and then add sauce? Thanks!

[@Threadsandjars]

@@tim71ford Hi Tim, if I am making a lot of thighs for a big get-together I do not open them up...just lazy I reckon. But when doing them for up to 6 people (or about 20 thighs) I go the extra mile and open them up like Jeff did on the drums. Either way I add sauce, and always with a bit of apple cider vinegar put into the BBQ sauce for that delicious extra tang. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

[@immafaint673]

Thank you! I really like how you explain. I also like that the chicken has a good amount of surface area.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks for the good feedback.

[@angieroberts1]

Ooooo great idea!!! Looks great. I want a lemon peppa ones now.

[@426superbee4]

That will work to YUM

[@Armadillopepper]

Yea, lemon pepper with some diced up jalapeño!

[@PAPATexas]

Nicely done Jeff. Been a long time since I ate/cooked chicken legs. I like this butterfly cook. Money! They do look really good.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Papa!

[@dougdilley8115]

Great job! What a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Doug!

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Great instruction on the filleting the chicken legs. Oil, seasoning(SPG) and throw them on the grill(not a fan of BBQ sauce). Well done, Sir.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Jeffrey!

[@426superbee4]

I'am going to do that way! Cause i like the flavor in the bones too Any time you open them up, or poke them down to the bone with slices, will make them cook even and flavor down into the bone. Orange Habanero Powder or flakes will make them OUT OF THIS WORLD! What makes a food video is? THE TASTE TEST YUM> Thanks for the taste test! Happy Holidays. Where that dam turkey walked off to. HERE TURKEY TURKEY TURKEY

[@Armadillopepper]

Orange habanero flakes would be awesome on this!

Thanks and Happy Thanksgivung Luigi!

[@tomstestkitchen]

Chicken looked great Jeff, I'm going to have to try legs this way. Looking at the prices here in Texas today, wings $4.49/lb and legs $2.49/lb. It's crazy.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Tom. Personally, I'm not paying that much for wings. More meat this way.

[@kevinwittenauer6892]

Trying this for sure

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Kevin. How's the ASMOKE?

[@BBQPITDOG]

These are awesome Jeff....and to add to your advantages....more meat to eat than wings!!! Your sounding a little sickly. Get better Bud!! Y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving over there!!!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Rob. I was wiped out sick a few days last week, but am on the upswing now. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

[@jenncria]

Those look soooo DAMN GOOD!

[@ChiefHasben]

Another hit recipe Jeff! Thanks! I'm old enough to remember when meat cutters would either throw wings away or give them away to someone that wanted to make chicken stock. PS - Of the various different types of grills/smokers that you now have, which one would you choose if you could have only one of them?

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Chief. I didn't know they used to get thrown away.

[@ChiefHasben]

@@Armadillopepper In southern states they have been deep fried forever I think, but us northern states didn't really use them much until 1964 when the Anchor Bar in Buffalo NY brought us the Buffalo Wings recipe.

[@TravisInCanada1]

If I want to protect something I lube it up with an oil. I feel like using oil as a binder just creates a layer of protection between the seasoning/rub and the meat. Maybe it would make more sense to put the seasoning/rub on and than spray it with oil? Just my prerogative maybe I'm wrong.

[@slideoff1]

chicken legs are good too!

[@Armadillopepper]

Yessirree!

[@426superbee4]

Most of the time i take the thighs and legs and debone them into hot wings> Yes i fry the bones to, there meat on them and i like to suck the flavor out of the bones, yummy. I can't tell any difference 🍗 From Hot wings 🍗🍗🍖🍖 Yummy bro 👍👍

[@Armadillopepper]

Love me some hot wings!

[@426superbee4]

@@Armadillopepper He hee 4 lbs. for 33 dollars. Will eat em just like this! Hell i can buy Colossal Shrimp for half of the price

[@johnlord8337]

wings, might as well be sold with chicken feet, tongues, combs, necks, gizzards, heart, liver - considered offal as waste product - now over priced. spatchcocking a chicken, breast, inner wings, thighs and legs ... ultimate process for having real chicken eating.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks

Thighs and legs are cheap! Wings? way overpriced! Rootboy Approved! 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Sal! I'll have to drink one of those beers today 😀.

[@bashcrash9148]

Most restaurants up here in Ohio list wings at “market price” on their menu too. It’s insanity.

[@Armadillopepper]

Interesting, I didn't know this market price thing was in other places. I have been reading that wholesale cost has come done a bit now. Wonder if the restaurants will change pricing?
