10 • February 2016 • UPBEAT TIMES, INC. Dry Rub BBQ’d Chicken


grees covered lightly with alu- minum foil for two hours. In the last half hour(of the two hours) take the aluminum foil off and let the chicken get nice & crispy(Yumm!) Te second way and new way I’ve been cooking it is by using the BIG Green Egg. Chef Bobby Flay of the Food Network oſten uses it in his half hour BBQ segments. Tis BBQ grill acts as an oven, but alows you to add your own


flavor of hardwoods. Plus, the entire ‘shell’ of the BBQ is thick ceramic. Te Big Green Egg uses an awesome sytem of heat adjusting vents and a ce- ramic plate that goes inside to offset the intense heat normal BBQ’s have. It acts like a big convection oven, but you get that beautiful flavorful wood smoke, which is how the BBQ works. It is not a gas BBQ. My friend Patrick Oster, who owns


Buck Stoves Pools & Spa’s has recently become a Big Green Egg dealer and is clearly a big fan, sold me the ‘ex-


tra


large’ Green Egg with accomidat- ing accessories that allow me to cook just about any- thing BBQ, including


pizza! (but that’s for another up- coming issue of Up- beat Times) Te main learning curve is


how to get a perfect tempera- ture and, to maintain it. Since I’ve been BBQing most of my life, I became adept almost im- mediately, it was that simple. When I BBQ the whole chicken in the EGG, my prefered tem- purature is btween 365-385 de- gees for two hours. Another fun tip for increased

awesome flavor is to grab a variety of herbs from the gar- den and tie them together in a


bunch, and stuff the cavity of the chicken. My favorite herb combo is oregano, thyme, rose- mary, and sage(all fresh). I seal the cavity with the herbs and it comes out magnificent. Accompanying garnishes that taste awesome pasta or


are


rice and sauteed fresh zuchinni or your choice of vegetable. Most of my meals consist of at least two types of veggies, cooked or un- cooked. A special note:


One of the reasons I called it the ‘Stand UP Chef ’ is because I love to use humor while cook- ing and not take myself to seri- ously. Te only real serious part is knife safety and adhearing to sanitary conditions. Next Month:
