Tender Chicken

Former Member

All the chicken I cook on my Smokette is very tender and falls off the bone. When we go to a commercial barbeque restaurant, I notice the chicken has more body to it and is not quite so tender. What causes this?

Thanks

I think that the biggest difference is the amount of moisture maintained in the chicken. If they are cooking in a gas or wood fired pit, then they are moving fairly large amounts of air through the smoker, which will have a drying effect on the product. In my experience this tends to firm up the meat.

If you like it that way, try brining the chicken before smoking in your Cookshack.

Thanks, I do not necessarily like it that way but I did wonder why it was.
