$8.88 bag of chicken quarters from my local grocery store.
Some red oak, and homemade BBQ sauce.
Best deal in BBQ

Something so satisfying about making cheap meat taste good

One of my children’s favorite meals. Once trim and cleaning up about 7 to 8 pounds get cooked.

Dude, I saw your last post and I’m making Robs sauce tomorrow with a couple of whole chickens. Wish me luck. And thanks. Big ups to Rob!

This is by far the best cut of chicken and it’s dirt cheap. Reminds me of buying $20 briskets.

That’s the way to go. I do the same thing with chicken thighs and pork tenderloins. Cheap and turns out great

I hope you kept cooking. Lots of people seem to think the target for dark meat is 165. It’s way better if you keep going to 195-200 for the same reason you cook a brisket or pork butt that high. Dark meat doesn’t really start to dry out until like 210

One of my go to buys. Usually find a 8-10 lb bag of them at Walmart for a buck or so a pound. Sometimes a little beat up, but, they’re all getting eaten!
That said, I’ll be curious how ICE raids at poultry producers might affect the prices…

One of my favorite things to smoke. I start layering sauce towards the end. Comes out great.

I remember getting 10 lb bags of leg quarters for 1.90 when they went on sale. I’m officially old.
Edit: Those are absolutely beautiful, btw. Would smash with gusto.

I can never get the skin right on thighs. Always too tough

I’ve had chicken quarters multiple ways, they’re all good.

Can someone please explain to me how to get this crispy (or at least rendered) skin on the chicken? Every time I try it just comes out like leather

It’s amazing that you can get chicken quarters for less than a dollar a pound but every other cut of chicken is three dollars plus a pound

Red oak and chicken is one the best pairs

Looks awesome

That looks great. I haven’t had those in years. Just shows how times have changed. These used to be $2.99 Think I’ve decided what I’m making this weekend.

What temp do you cook at? When do you apply sauce?
