24 hr dry brine with a salt, pepper, garlic rub, then 325 F for a little over an hour. This time I added a pan of potatoes underneath to catch the drippings. Game changer.

    Nice, I’m a 425 guy myself, no brine or anything but I’ll get there Yardbird rub under the skin on the thighs and the breast.

    Literally what’s on mi Joe Jr right now. Though I like the idea of potatoes below. Did you put it on the lower diffuser?

    Looks awesome–bird seems flawless. Never thought about the potatoes like that. How’d you prep the potatoes for this?

  4. I dunno, that bird looks dry af, and only cooking an hour at 160, even if spatchcocked, that’s not for me.

    Looks beautiful! Never did potatoes either but I’ll try that. Did you put them uncooked in the pan and waited an hour? How often did you move them around so they don’t burn?
