Kamado Cooking Chicken
★If you are not familiar with Kamado is a derivative of an ancient Chinese clay cooking pot that was later adapted by the Japanese (the names Mushikamado) and reached the Western world in the middle of last century. Today, the clay has been replaced by high-performance ceramics, which usually feeds on coal, but the versatility of the ceramic grill is pretty amazing. There are a variety of brands on the market as the Primo Kamado and the big green egg, but I must say that trying to find a ceramic Kamado Grill Europe remains a thankless task.
The Kamado is so versatile, it can be used as a grill, smoker or even as an oven. The temperature is best to cook pizza and I would also imitate my bet, and is ideal for tandoori chicken tikka and naan bread. For today, however, I am going to focus on the whole chicken, and my Kamado as a smoker and a traditional oven.
Roast Chicken
A roast chicken dinner has one of my favorites and cooking the chicken in the Kamado ensures an incredibly moist bird and what is more, could not be easier. It's only a matter of heating the Kamado normal roasting temperature of 180 ° C and application of Rule 20 minutes per pound plus 20 minutes and you'll get it right the first time and every time. Put a drop in birds with oscillating about an inch of water in it for added moisture and very tasty sauce.
Since you are a normal roasting, cooking make your potatoes at the same time and just one last tip for the chicken: —
Sprinkle the bird with salt and pepper before cooking to a simple taste with salt and cracked skin. Stuff the cavity with 10 cloves of garlic.
Smoked Chicken
Kamado barbecue smoker is the cheapest I've used. Become not thinking about the days of an offset smoker grill and tend to the coals every hour really excites me very much and since I bought my Big Green Egg is a thing of the past. The Kamado, the outdoor kitchen cheaper than I've ever used, and happy to run with loaded coal into a "normal temperature" of smoking for five or six hours, without any care. How to keep your eyes on the thermometer every hour or so and then adjust the holes in your case.
All the flavor of smoked chicken come out of the smoke, because if the salt the bird then it becomes dry. Feel free to season with pepper and an option can be injected the bird with a little olive oil and this will keep super moist and taste a little. For smoke, try wood chips from a citrus fruit such as grilled lemon, a subtle flavor to a subtle meat.
The kitchen is very simple smoked chicken, working only 60 minutes per pound of meat to 120 ° C and on the right side. To test if it's done you can ether use a barbecue thermometer or simply the chicken skewer in the thigh and check that the juices have precedence. Once cooked, put the bird aside to let stand for 30 minutes, will continue as a cook and cool the chicken, the juice is sealed in the flesh, and that means remains cold. Leftover chicken can be dry, but not if you follow this recipe for smoked chicken.
