Kosmic Turkey...A Play By Play...

JD McGee · Nov 24, 2010

Here we go folks...my review/test drive of Kosmo's Chicken Soak and Dirty Bird Rub on my Thanksgiving bird...:becky: This will be a real-time play-by-play...so you won't see the finished product until supper tomorrow evening. Hang in there with me...:thumb:

First up...safety first...cleaned and sanitized the food grade brining bucket (compliments of FamilyManBBQ...

) with hot soapy water followed by a bleach soak/rinse (2 tbl bleach-4 gal water...soak for 5 minutes then rinse thouroughly)...

The bird and the brine...14lb all natural bird...1 cup Chicken Soak per gallon...2.5 gallons total...

The soak mixed quickly with cold tap water after a few stirs...

Lid on then in to the beverage fridge for a cool night's soak...

Next up tommorrow...bird on the BGE...hope to see you then! :-D

Thanks guys!

The bird is out of the brine...rinsed...dried with paper towels...then back in the fridge to air dry for a few hours before getting rubbed then smoked...:thumb:

Time to hit the shower and head out to see the latest Harry Potter movie...(yea...I'm a BIG kid...).

JD McGee · Nov 25, 2010

Ok folks...the BGE has a fresh load of Wicked Good...and 2 small chunks of pecan for smoke...

The bird was rubbed up with a little canola oil followed by a light dusting of Kosmo's Dirty Bird...:becky:

Stay tuned for the taste test...

Thanks Chris...just drinking water for now...

My wife set out the champagne flutes and wine glasses so it looks like bubbly and vino for dinner! :becky:

I hope Grandma comes through for Katie...root beer in the bottle is awesome!

Even better over vanilla ice cream...:thumb:
