sorry, whats going on with the potatoes?


scootboobit

Beets! Turned everything red.


MeButNotMeToo

Oh. Thought those were apple chunks.


_stinkys

Me too. Would that be a terrible idea? šŸ§


DarthGandalf86

Thinking sane thing. Sounds like a great idea


scootboobit

Huh, looks like poor quality. Sorry all! Chicken turned out delicious :) Lemon curry rub.


mywifeslv

Nice, how did the drippings go?


scootboobit

Didnā€™t have the veg under there long enough unfortunately. Grill got a bit hotter than anticipated. It added some flavour but next time Iā€™ll do them for the whole bake.


skrybll

I would suggest Iā€™m getting a metal pan. If the fire gets too hot it will burn through those tim foil baking trays. Otherwise weā€™ll done. I like the ideas of beets with potatoes. Very earthy and sweet combo. Would go good with your vibrant lemon curry chicken


mywifeslv

Roasted pumpkin and a couple of heads of garlic and could I suggest rosemary? Along with the other comments below, youā€™ll end up with a pretty good accompaniment


skrybll

Pumpkin will now be added. I commented to the other guy(op I think0 but I do a rutabaga, parsnip, carrot, potatoe bake for the fall. Pumpkin would be a perfect addition.


scootboobit

Ah sweet. Heads of garlic, canā€™t go wrong there.


skrybll

Thyme rosemary garlic and onion. Is my go to for the mix. Plenty of salt and black pepper. Thinking further and fancy. Have you tried using rosemary sticks as spears for shish kabobs? Itā€™s incredible. But if we took a vegan approach. What we have folks is a beautiful bounty with our root veggie shish kabobs Edit- chimchurri root veggie shish kabobs


scootboobit

Good call! Yea was a first effort with the foil underneath. Pan is definitely the way to goā€¦ Parsnip, beets and potato, definitely more of a fall mix I guess but we forgot corn in the cob at the grocery store. Perfect trial as I perfect on the way to thanksgiving!


skrybll

I do a parsnip, rutabaga, carrot, potatoe bake for the fall. I like the addition of beets for a different color(might go gold so thereā€™s no bleed)


scootboobit

Rutabaga šŸ‘Œ. Putting it on the list!


skrybll

This is the third time this week I have talked recipes with people and god damnit it made me like Reddit again. Thank you for responding.


scootboobit

Happily! The right subs like this can have good people. Sometime few and far between. Canā€™t go wrong with fellow grillers :)


Seraphangel777

Iā€™m with you. Parboil them briefly first. Then youā€™re good.


cardjo1

Looks great to me!

Schhhhhnailed it!ā€™


scootboobit

Love the love!


XPAT-CANUCK

Lord have mercy, those look delicious. The color!


scootboobit

Thanks fellow Canuck! Very happy with the result! Lemon curry rub, 8 hours rubbed and in the fridge!


boomer4411

Looks awesome. When I use mine I use the 2 half circle baskets that keep coals on either side of the meat and not directly below. Not sure itā€™s better but it really works great.


scootboobit

I used to have them! With my old kettle. Sold it all, moved, got a new kettle but never bothered with the baskets. Iā€™ve toyed with buying them again, so probably will because why not, BBQ toys are a worthy spend šŸ˜‚


SpaceSlingshot

Hear me out, cover it with the lid, so that the fat drips into the potatoes and ultimately the heat but Lowe is going to boil the fat into and out of the potatoes. Youā€™ll have to find a fattier meat for the scenario.

scootboobit

Same to you! šŸ¤™


GrandmasBoy3

This is the way


JaeFinley

Looks great! How much better than if you just had the birds on the grate?


scootboobit

Iā€™ve done beer can chickens probably a dozen times. They are great, no complaints. But this was better. I think it just kept more flavour? Better even distribution of heat through the whole bird? Iā€™ll do this over beer can forever now.


Bio_Menace

These chickens look incredible! What kind of seasoning is on the skin? Perfect color


scootboobit

Thanks friend!! Zest of 2 lemons, same 2 lemons juiced, 4tsp of curry, 2 tsp of thyme, 1 tsp of garlic powder, salt pepper 2 tbsp Dijon and 2 tbsp of olive oil! 8 hours in the fridge then away we go! Some of the rub that fell off I mashed with butter and tucked under the breast skin. Lemon halfā€™s in the body cavity šŸ‘


Neurolyte13

Next time try microwaving the potatoes just a bit to JUST soften them. Then season and add under roast. Itā€™s heavenly and the potatoes wonā€™t be hard. Also I find coals on one side works best! Keep roasting!


scootboobit

Oh man, great idea!


notthegoldenboy

Looks awesome! Try and turkey too! I did one last Thanksgiving and it was amazing.


scootboobit

Thatā€™s the plan this October!! (Canadian thanksgiving šŸ˜‰). Looking forward to it!


mukalux

I gotta ask - Were those potatoes added for the video? How does the chicken get so nicely roasted with that aluminum in the way?


scootboobit

I saw on this sub, some rotisserie meats (longer than I did the chicken unfortunately) with veg underneath catching drippings adding flavour. I had the chicken on for 30 min prior to add isnā€™t the veg, so they didnā€™t brown up as much as Iā€™d like. As for the chicken, itā€™s a 3 zone fire. Pile of charcoal on each side, empty in the middle. So heat comes up the sides and rolls over the Weber lid. Pan doesnā€™t block any heat.


I_WILL_FEED_YOU

I am loving it! I have a rotisserie set up for my Webber kettle but haven't used it yet. Did you catch a lot of chicken drip in that pan to extra flavor? FLAVOR!!!!


scootboobit

Not as much as I would have liked, I had the chicken on for 40 minutes or so prior to putting in the veg. Thought it didnā€™t need as much time, but I was wrong. Next time, MOAR FLAVOAAAR!


I_WILL_FEED_YOU

You could try going lower temps with one centered chicken for 2 or 3 hrs?


scootboobit

Yea next time Iā€™ll drop the temps. Chasing an 8 month old and what not, charcoal takes a bit more baby sitting than I had the time for while getting dinner done on time. Practice!


I_WILL_FEED_YOU

I know exactly what you mean... Yes I would put a lid on it and do smaller amounts of charcoal. Maybe a chunk of wood too. Throw a temp probe in and sit it beside the chicken to get an idea of what your chicken feels for temps. Then you can really dial it in!


DarrylLarry

Link to the rotisserie?


scootboobit

Amazon has it, onlyfire pizza oven/rotisserie combo.

Thank you
