Just an update from earlier posts...I thought my chicken was tough due to overcooking (in the original post above) - nope - it is a known issue: woody/white stripped chicken.
Nice. I've been buying the 3 sealed in bag each boneless breasts (organic - not that organic helps as they suffer as well) at Fry's - I've had great luck with them. They tend to be dark and uniform in color. I'll cook one - freeze the others and pull out as needed. So far very tender chicken - chicken that you can cut with your fork.Just an update from earlier posts...
I no longer buy the bags of chicken breasts on sale at our local market, as those have had the "woody" pieces in there. Strangely, the chicken breast we've bought from our local Meijer stores have never had a woody piece in them that I can remember. For a supermarket, that surprises me. I usually buy a couple of family packs and freeze the pieces individually.
But the real treat around here are the Bell & Evans chicken pieces. I bought them once on sale (very expensive--they are normally $6.99/lb.!) and we couldn't believe how good those were!! Since then, I've purchased the bone-in breasts, as well as had their whole chickens cut up into pieces so I can roast them outside. They are always very juicy and flavorful. I stock up on those when they are on sale also.

I'm just trying to revive the chicken thread. I know that there are some chicken cooking mofo's out there. So let's post this shit. This was supper tonight. Just some good ole grilled BBQ chicken and garlic and herb roasted new taters and frozen corn with a half a stick of butter in it.
I did it!!!
Managed to cook chicken successfully. Took a swing at another batch and tweaked my method on my "new" ceramic grill.
Filled it up with good ol mesquite and nailed the temp to a steady 300° and let it cook for 15 minutes at a time before flipping them. That seemed to work pretty good. Still took longer than I expected 1 1/2. But maybe it was the amount I was cooking along with the diffuser and low temp.
Served up some cold potato slaw, beans, Salmon, veggies and warm fresh bread.
Perfect dinner.

BBQ year round rain or shine, it's nice grilling under cover lol.Good morning AK.
Anyone bbq in winter? I know it's not the typical type of day to cook.
Love to see them.
BBQ season starts 12:00:01AM on January 1 and ends at midnight December 31. One of my coldest BBQ adventures was making beef tenderloin on the grill in the single digits out on my back deck. Unless we have a string of really wet weather, I usually fire it up at least once a week. I'll tell ya what--nothing is better in the dead of winter than burgers out on the grill. I will even run the smoker if I'm feeling up to some pulled pork.Anyone bbq in winter? I know it's not the typical type of day to cook.
