The Money $Shot$ … Roasted Chicken Thighs, Baked Potato, with a side of Baked Butternut Squash … This was our first exposure to Baked Butternut Squash and although it turned out scrumptious I think we’ll use it as a substitute for potatoes, rice, or pasta.\u00a0 The Baked Potato speaks for itself but the two together was a bit much and needed a green salad or other vegetable for the side.\u00a0 Bon App\u00e9tit !!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For a quick and delectable meal you can’t beat the performance of the Char-Broil The Big Easy Infrared Smoker, Roaster and Grill (SRG).\u00a0 Scrubbed the Potatoes, rubbed them with Annie’s Roasted Garlic EVOO<\/a>, and seasoned them with Fagundes Seasoning<\/a>.\u00a0 Trimmed the Fresh Foster Farms Chicken Thighs of excess skin and fat.\u00a0 Rubbed the Thighs On\/Under the skin with Annie’s Roasted Garlic EVOO<\/a> for the glue and applied a liberal amount of Jans Dry Rub.<\/p>\n

Inserted the Potatoes in the SRG 20 minutes before the Chicken Thighs since experience has shown that it will take me 1+ hours for the spuds to reach an Internal Temperature<\/a> (IT) of 210\u00baF and 45+ minutes for an IT of 180\u00baF on the Chicken Thighs.\u00a0 You want to make sure that the Chicken Thighs are below the potatoes … You don’t want the raw chicken dripping on the potatoes!!<\/p>\n

Reinserted the Chicken Thighs and Potatoes into the SRG set on High with the lid Open.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pulled the Chicken Thighs after the IT reached 180\u00baF+ and rested the Thighs for 15 minutes.\u00a0 Timing worked out great as the Roasted\/Baked Potatoes reached an IT of 210\u00baF.\u00a0 Don’t you just love it when everything comes together as planned!?<\/p>\n

Prepared and baked a Butternut Squash in the oven while the Chicken Thighs and Potatoes were roasting in the SRG.<\/p>\n
