restoring , and cooking jerk chicken on an Oklahoma joe highlander

[@willwarro4054]

my first time seeing ya here. i'm seriously impressed with you just being you. and how you approached reviving your smoker. trust me i done more screw ups smokin than i care to remember. and still learning. but what makes this video real is your honesty and you don't just put on an acting show like a lot do. it was more than just a video. for me it was a learning and a life experience. wish we were neighbors. that would top it off. thanks. i'll see your other videos. would be really cool if i was in person. but you made it as close as close could be. thanks again. bravo!

[@hillbillybbq]

[@Rob-BC]

[@hillbillybbq]

Hey thanks alot !

[@Sheenasalesthriftytreasures]

Nice to meet you great video

[@hillbillybbq]

Awesome thank you!

[@805BBQJUNKIE]

Nice restoration sorry for your loss my brother crispy skin just before your chicken is done jack up the temp by 100 degree and that should give you crispy skin

[@hillbillybbq]

I try it next time thanks man chicken has always been my kriptonite lmao and I took them to 180 and still had little red blood spots near the bone? Should I go on up to 200?

[@SonicBoomC98]

My skin used to come out rubbery, but the last time I did chicken I experimented with the same way Mad Scientist BBQ does his ribs. I saw a guy make jerk chicken on a Weber Smokey Mountain this way also. They both start off around that 250 temperature, then they take it up to a hotter temperature. That's basically what I did with my chicken. I smoked it, then I took the smoker up to hot and fast temps for about 30 min. The guy I saw make it on the WSM, let his jerk go up to 175 before pulling it. I'm going to try something similar with my turkey legs next. Hopefully I can find a steal on a nice offset like this

[@hillbillybbq]

Hey thanks for the comment,. That's what a few people have told me also. I haven't tried chicken with skin on since then but I'm gonna try it. I think your definitely right, I'm going to try it again soon and I'll see if I can get it right lol! Thanks for the advice and thanks for stopping by! Have a good week!

[@SonicBoomC98]

@@hillbillybbq no problem. I hope I find me a deal somewhere. I want to get back into offset cooking

[@hillbillybbq]

Thank you buddy!

[@igotJesus88]

I never eat smoked chicken. Haven’t had a good experience with it.

[@hillbillybbq]

I like it if I cook it lol a lot of BBQ places pull it when the breast is 155or 160 I like to talk the breast to 175 it's still juicy especially if you brine it. Thanks for watching!

[@13barnes]

damn that white smoke.

[@hillbillybbq]

I know right! Lol I'll get it right soon I hope lol! Have a great weekend!

[@dustinlasley6]

Maybe try some duck fat to make the skin crisp when u smoke it. thanks for the video

[@hillbillybbq]

Ok I'll try that thanks for the suggestion , where can you get it at?

[@dustinlasley6]

@@hillbillybbq it’s a spray I got mine at the Walmart i never knew about myself until I started trying to step my wing game up.

[@hillbillybbq]
