Cajun Butter injected Yardbird with pics

[chisoxjim]

Other than chicken wings, chicken is one of my least favorite items to do on the smoker(Im a pork guy). However the wife wanted some chicken so I injected this bird the day before with some TOny C's cajun butter. Right before smoking I rubbed the bird with veg oil, and some of my rub.

Smoked for 3.45 hours @ apporx 250, and let it rest for 30 minutes before pulling. Actually a really good chicken, the injection really kept the white meat moist, and packed some flavor. Really looking forward to a sandwich of this for lunch today.

bird ready to go just on the WSM lower rack:

crisp wings:




mid 30's and alittle snow didnt phase me or the WSM, downright balmy(beeer, tequila, and bourbon made it feel that way at least..)...



thanks for looking @ my pics.

I'd sure dig deep into that bird. Nice color and it does look juicy as heck. I'm sure it was a delightful diner and soon to be sandwiches! Nice smoke!
