Wanted to go old school for the "spin to win" Throwdown. So I got a chicken and stuffed it with sliced Granny Smith apple and rubbed with Yardbird and injected wih creole butter. Then did my best attempt of tying it up.
Then I had welded a frame using T post I had laying around to hang the chicken from.
Sides was corn on the cob and pork and beans that I added a couple slices of cheese and butter to. Don't knock it till you try it!!!
After 1.5 hrs the chicken was almost done.
Here's my plated shot.
String cooking is something I was taught by my grandparents, but haven't done in years. The idea is the longer and thinner the string, the more spin you will get. I had about 4 feet of butchers twine I used. Once you have everything tied and ready just give the bird or what ever a spin by hand and when the string gets tight it will stop and spin the way and go back and forth. You have to help it spin every 30 mins or so depending on length and size of string. Now for my crappy video. It's my first video so don't beat me up too hard.
