I broke out the Char-Broil Big Easy to cook a whole chicken. I injected it first with apple juice and then tossed it in. It turned out great! I much prefer doing chickens this way than smoking them. Thanks for watching!

I just bought one!! *WHERE HAS IT BEEN, ALL MY LIFE....*

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

You're gonna wonder how you ever lived without it!

[@doublejbbq42]

love the big easy, does chicken great

[@doublejbbq42]

you should try a mall turkey or ribs

[@SmokeTrailsBBQ]

Looks amazing! Hope your daughter found the tp, haha!

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Great cook. I like that big easy. It does not seem to be so common. Chicken looks delicious!

[@guitfiddle]

I just ordered one online after seeing this video. Using it right now for a Whole Chicken!!! For those who don't want to fork over $100 or so for an iGrill, I would suggest something less wireless but still capable: itronicsmall.com/product/thermopro-tp-17-digital-meat-thermometer ~$25

@@guitfiddle Discontinued? I got mine from Lowes last week lol

[@guitfiddle]

@@Clutchfan1 when I posted this I didn't realise they made the "big easy oil less fryer.". I have the big easy SRG which was discontinued I guess because they now make Smokers, Roasters/Fryers, and of course grills. I was thinking this was the SRG but I missed that detail. Thanks for clarifying. I really like the SRG model because it has a port for wood chips and a grill top. The grill works great while the smoking is generally too hot for like a brisket or anything like that. The lowest I can get the temp is about 350°F. But being able to add a little wood smoke flavor to anything I cook in it is definitely awesome.

[@Clutchfan1]

@@guitfiddle no worries! Thanks for the vid and keep cookin!

[@xalr1982x]

Great job! Wife just got me the big easy and I was wondering How long that chicken took to cook?

[@loganwoolard2621]

A good hour maybe a bit more - keep it on full blast the whole time - you can add the mesh grate on about 10 mins before you pull it up for extra crisp

[@c.c.harris220]

What wireless thermometer do you use, can I find it on Amazon?

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

It's the thermopro tp08 and you can find it on Amazon. I also did a review for it. You can find it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKK0c4ucgdp3mck

[@shellac23]

Cooking my first chicken today. 😎

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

[@shellac23]

@@GreyCountyGrillin wife thinks it’s the best chicken we’ve ever cooked. Cooking another one today!

[@gotcash4you]

Chris.. how easy is the clean up of the unit?? Rick, Alaska

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

Hey Rick! It's pretty easy, actually. I just put the basket in the dishwasher and it's good. The stainless steel sleeve just need a wipe down and as long as you put a small foil pan in the drip tray, it stays clean. My wife and I just went on an Alaskan cruise in September, absolutely beautiful place!

[@gabrielanunez7760]

Great video. Did you use high temperature?

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

I always have the Big Easy on high temp.

[@marylouisegreene6742]

the temp shows different on different parts of the chicken. which one should i pay attention to?

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

You want 165 in pretty much all areas. The legs and thighs will cook a bit faster, so they might hit 175 when the breast gets to 165

[@michaeljf1972]

Tha dog started barking, he knows its almost done lol

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

They always know! Hahaha Thanks for watching!

[@stephaniemassengale7160]

Your family is very cute, and nice looking chicken! Just a question though - wouldn’t putting so many holes in the chicken through injections make the meat more dry because the juices can run out through the holes?

[@5argetech56]

What you do is this. separate the skin from the meat and inject underneath the skin...

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

The marinade would just run out from where you separated the skin. The meat wouldn't absorb anything that way.

[@c.c.harris220]

I cooked my chicken for two hours, it was done all the way thru, very crispy skin. But at the bone by the breast area it was blood red which turned my family off. Did I do something wrong. :(

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

No, you didn't do anything wrong! That sometimes happens with frozen chicken. Some pigmentation will leech from the bone marrow and turn a reddish brown colour after cooking. There's nothing wrong with the meat that has been discoloured, it's just doesn't look very appealing. But as far as I can tell, you did everything perfectly!

[@jameslopez4446]

We'res the lid ?

[@BobthePhotoGuy]

With the Big Easy BRG you don't need to inject or rub with oil. Just leave the lid open and close the lid when you hit the 145 mark on the breast.

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

No, you don't need to inject, but you don't need to season it either. Injecting adds some flavour, and certainly doesn't hurt anything.

[@tomvedra5405]

Apple juice? Just putting sugar where it doesn’t need to be.

[@marylouisegreene6742]

you never said how long you cooked it? Do you remember?

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

I don't really remember. It's more important to cook to temp, rather than time.

[@m.g.n4898]

Way, way, way, too much apple juice injected!

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

Nah, it was just right. Thanks for watching!
