Did a little barbecue today for lunch. Just a dozen chicken drumsticks and a rack of baby back ribs. Removing the skin from the drumsticks allows me to get more seasoning in contact with the meat. Also allows for better glaze coverage. Don't worry, I didn't waste the skin...


On the MBGS 1050 with hickory and pecan


Glazed after 3 hours of smoke


Both meats came out great! Moist and tender with the perfect amount of smoke.


I made Ranch Chicken Chips with the skins I removed from the drumsticks. Crunchy


Cheers!

Looks very good. The only thing I would do different is smoke two racks of ribs.

The skin is what makes the legs so good, can’t believe you would take it off, that’s nuts! Where’s the bark on your ribs? They look awfully light.

Also, you should try a rub without meat tenderizer and msg. Use natural seasonings for a more authentic taste and pick the correct blend of flavors so you don’t need msg as an enhancer.

Also, you need to keep your raw pork and raw poultry separate. Storing them on the same tray is not smart. Practice food safety everyday!

Throwin yardbird on the smoker tomorrow thanks to this thread. Will eat some for dinner and save the rest for enchiladas.

Random thought popped in to my head when reading this. People go back and forth over Pork Shoulder vs Brisket as best BBQ but to me ribs are the perfect bbq meat

Smoked a butt last night and three racks today. No sauce for me, just a good rub. Delicious

I want to know what happened to the two pieces to the right of the ribs.
They are somehow now missing three hours later!
BTW it all looks delicious. Would definitely eat.

I've got my MBGS 800 coming in today and have been thinking about what I want my first cook to be.

May have to go with some drumsticks and ribs!

So what was the time and temp? Did the chicken come off before the ribs? How did you monitor?

I wanna try to replicate this on my Woodwind this weekend but amd still trying to figure it all out.
