My neighbor Tom came back from the Foster Farms plant and graced my doorstep with a Family Chicken Pack that consisted of six legs & thighs.\u00a0 Fresh from the plant … doesn’t get any better than that!!\u00a0 Decided to do them Chicken parts justice and used left over Tony Chachere’s Injectable\u00a0 Creole Style Marinade Butter.<\/p>\n

Injected the Chicken Legs and Thighs with the Creole Butter.\u00a0 Rubbed Annie’s Roasted Garlic EVOO<\/a> on\/under the skin for glue and Fagundes Seasoning<\/a>.\u00a0 Placed them overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Preheated the MAK 2 Star<\/a> Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill to 230\u00baF with Gourmet BBQ Hickory<\/a> Wood Pellets.\u00a0 Hickory<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, Cherry<\/a>, Maple<\/a>, and\/or Pecan pellets all work great with Poultry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ran the Chicken Legs and Thighs at 230\u00baF for 2 hours and then bumped the temperature to 325\u00baF to finish them off.\u00a0 The MAK 2 Star<\/a> is capable of producing bountiful amounts of Smoke Flavor at this setting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pulled the Chicken Legs and Thighs when the Internal Temperature<\/a> reached 185\u00baF.\u00a0 Took a total time of 2\u00bd hours. \u00a0Rested the Chicken under a foil tent for 15 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Money $Shot$ … A scrumptious Chicken Leg and Thigh injected with Tony Chachere’s Creole Style Marinade Butter, a salad garnished with cucumber and cherry<\/a> tomatoes from my Summer garden, and some Cantaloupe Melon … How they pack all that flavor in a zero calorie Injectable Marinade is beyond me – but it sure tastes great!!\u00a0\u00a0 Bon App\u00e9tit<\/p>\n
