Visited Sam’s Club last week and found Lawry’s NEW Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning Blend as featured on Sam’s Club Rotisserie Chickens. Can’t go wrong with Lawry’s – Right!! Love their Seasoned and Garlic Salts. I knew I would have to try some of this … Rubbed a huge chicken breast on and under the skin with Annie’s Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and applied a liberal amount of the new Lawry’s Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning Blend. Rested the breast in the fridge for 4 hours.
This new Traeger PTG is going to be just right for the two of us for many weekday meals and on the road with our RV. No need to fire up the MAK 2 Star for one chicken breast. Preheated the PTG to 180ºF/P-3 with Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Apple Pellets. Apple smoked the chicken breast for an hour at 180ºF.
After an hour I bumped the temperature to 350ºF until the Internal Temperature reached 170ºF at it’s thickest point.
Rested the Chicken Breast under a foil tent for 20 minutes. The breast was extremely moist and tender – along the lines of what I expected from a pellet grill. The Lawry’s Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning Blend had an excellent flavor profile and will be used again!
The PTG holds 5 lbs of pellets. I used about 3 lbs but that included seasoning the grill on high for 45 minutes (reached temps over 500ºF) and 2 hours of smoking/cooking. Not really concerned yet about pellet usage but glad I swapped out the 3 position Traeger controller with the Ortech digital. BUT I’ve been spoiled by my MAK and I can see that my learning curve on how this unit performs and the ‘P’ settings will take some time. Overall, I was satisfied with this unit’s first performance.
