  • 12 birds in a UDS

    These two girls (below) had thier first birthday (2 summers ago) and the mom asked me to cook some whole chickens. My water smoked chickens are a hit with the Filipina crowd. they had a big pot luck party in the park.

    My contribution to the event was 12 water smoked chickens, Hot wings, UDS scalloped taters and UDS bourbon baked beans.The chicken was seasoned with Big Ron's HOH and seasoned salt and then marinated with a 12 pack of busch beer.
    I started at 630am and had everything packed in the car at 110pm (40 minutes late...)





    I got the water smoker going and filled up 3 racks with twelve chickens












    Then I made scalloped taters and bourbon baked beans












    Hot wings with Big Ron's HOH, srirachi sauce and Big Rons BBQ sauce














    The party was awesome. My Q was a big hit. the taters and beans were competing against a HUGE spread of filipino food so it didn't get eaten as much.

    Nobody knew the wings were hot wings and people of all ages snatched them up pretty quick. I heard about some shocked eaters later!



    I kept the cooler of birds under the table and kept 3 birds at a time in this pan.






    it was a pretty large gathering for a 1st birthday

    I had 5 birds left at the end. Then, one by one, people started asking for a bird to take home. I snuck one to my car and thought I would keep one "for the cook". Then, one last person asked and I came home birdless and happy.



    2/3rds of the labor on the last two cooks was the sides. I decided to cheat on the sides more often
