Today, we are going to cook "3 Little Chickens" on the Big Green Egg "XL". We are breaking in a brand new Demo XL Egg and we'll be using a BGE Model GX Grill Extender to elevate our chickens. We will then put a drip pan under the chickens and cook potatoes and peppers in the pan, under the chickens.
Using the Grill Extender on top of the regular cooking grid, is an easy and convenient way to get "indirect" cooking without messing with that pesky Extra Large Plate Setter!
Here the trusty crew of Fred's Music and BBQ sets things up for the day. You can see that we have a brand new,
totally virgin Big Green Egg XL ready to go with "mouth" open ..ready to accept it's assignment for the day.
Also , note the shop vac to suck the ashes out of our Demo Large egg.
They're happy because they know they will be eatin real good shortly!
One TOTALLY VIRGIN, BRAND NEW, BIG GREEN EGG "EL"
NOTE .... we're using the Big Green Egg "GX" Grill Extender... we'll put our pan with potatoes and peppers
under our chickens.
Right hand man Toby fillers the XL up with new lump.
We use Big Green Egg's FS24 Fire Starter cubes to get it going ... lights easy, first time, every time using this
method. Note ... the XL has a big appetite for Lump.
Here's our food, prepped and ready to go. On the left potatoes and assorted peppers, on the right ..3 "little"
organic chickens courtesy of our friend and customer Boris Schneider. He says they're the best, we shall see.
Here's how things will be stacked ..the 3 little chickens go on top on vertical racks.
We typically use Big Green Egg VCR "Vertical Chicken Racks" but these little birds, were too small so I used
a couple of empty shorty soda cans.
Chickens on top. The "drippings" flavor the potatoes .... fabulous results every time.
Here the potatoes are cooked ..
That's how you cook 3 little chickend on one Extra Large Big Green Egg !
