Low and slow and 4-6 coats is absolutely the way to go. People always scoff when I say it takes me 3 hours to grill chicken thighs. One taste and they stop questioning my motives.
Nice colorful shirt there Rus! - Perfect summer attire. Dark chicken meat is my fave, and a lot more forgiving as far as donness is concerned. Great example of dual zone cooking for those just learning. - Patience is always a virtue. - The rewards are endless. - Cheers!
That looked good Rus. It did have that old school look to it. All that was missing was Open Pit or Kraft BBQ sauce and then it would have screamed the 70's LOL (thank God we now have real choices when it comes to sauce).
Owwie, gooey chicken thighs & legs...now that's a great summer barbecue meal. Your awesome white barbecue shirt wouldn't last a minute with me lol..Thanks for sharing Rus!
Looking Great Rus. This one my go to for Summer BBQ down to the Beans and YOU MUST HAVE Tater Salad. Thank you for sharing your take on a fantastic BBQ Chicken Dinner. 😋😋😛🍻🍻
Absolutely love your channel. I grew up in Tomball Texas and we have made chicken like this for years. Don't get me wrong smoke chicken is ok but in my opinion this is the only way to make BBQ chicken. Excellent job
I cook my chicken just the opposite. I start out on indirect then finish it off over coals. I'll have to give this a try. Can't beat potato salad n beans for the best BBQ!
Yeah most people do the opposite. I've been doing it this way for a long long time. It really bakes the sauce in and gives a really pronounced flavorful BBQ flavor and plenty of stickiness with just the right amount of char. Thanks for watching!
This is great! I made this tonight and was a big hit with the family! Going to have to be in the regular rotation. Thank you for this video! Fantastic!
That chicken looks fantastic. I think the competition guys pull dark meat at 175 but like you I prefer 185, or even higher with thighs and wing flats. Thanks for the great video and tutorial..
That is one nice pit ...... I didn't know mustard was a non sticker for the grill ..... I do mine almost the same as you do.... Great video Rus .... Now it's time to click on your amazon link and order some things...
Love all your content and especially your hotdog (rusty dog) recipe. But I was wondering if your going to do anything else with your grid down, or off the grid, series? I loved the freeze dried prepared eggs and those videos. Hope to see more of that kind of preparedness videos.
Glad you enjoy the content. I had to rethink the off grid stuff because people subbed my channel for cooking videos and not prepping related content but with that said, I'm sure I will use the freeze drier in a few future videos.
Hey Rus! ....that's just how I cook my chicken when I feel like going old school. Highlight of the video was you using the Bob Ross brush lol 😂😂 ....everyone using silicone brush now....LOL 😂. Definitely a fun cook yes indeed. Cheers 🍻
You make one hell of a fine looking finger licking bird buddy 😋! That pits and spits is a chicken making machine! This and the vinegar base chicken reminds me so much of summer with my dad at Mt. Lake. If he wasn't BBQing chicken he was grilling sausage and peppers on a Coleman stove or steak on his little charcoal hibachi grill ❤. Good times.
As I said in the video, when the internal temp of the chicken gets around 160 degrees, I move to indirect and start basting with sauce until it slowly climbs up to around 185 degrees internal.
The LSG’s I own are smokers except the Santa Maria, but I do put this over the Santa Maria, mainly because it’s adjustable like a Santa Maria but it has a lid to give it more functionality
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Did you sell the LSG pellet grill? I was looking at it and also the El Patron which cooks like this Pitts & Spits grill here. Thanks for your great video content.
In these days, you can buy a tasty-enough "BBQ-flavored" rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for $5 to $6, so a BBQ chicken from the grill HAS TO BE SPECIAL, right? So, yours is a saucy technique but I'd like to see some more focus on smokiness with some wood chunks.Thanks for this video. I've got some budget packs of leg quarters that are ready for your technique.
I've got plenty of smoked chicken videos on my channel using wood splits and wood chunks on a variety of pits and smokers, but this is the classic grilled BBQ chicken I grew up eating and still my favorite. Thanks for watching
Low and slow and 4-6 coats is absolutely the way to go. People always scoff when I say it takes me 3 hours to grill chicken thighs. One taste and they stop questioning my motives.
Exactly!
This looks awesome - great work. BBQ Chicken is such a simple recipe but always hits the spot!
Yes it does! Thanks for watching!
Nice colorful shirt there Rus! - Perfect summer attire.

Thanks Garry, I appreciate it and thank you for your continued support, very much appreciated!
I love the classic ways of grilling. There is a reason it’s a classic and not just forgotten! Thanks for the video.
I totally agree! Thanks for watching!
That looked good Rus. It did have that old school look to it. All that was missing was Open Pit or Kraft BBQ sauce and then it would have screamed the 70's LOL (thank God we now have real choices when it comes to sauce).
I almost used Kraft just for that very reason, but I decided to go with something I like better haha
Wanted to let you know I used this method this weekend and cooked up some of the best BBQ chicken I have ever done. Thanks for sharing this Sir!
Great job!
Bbq like we used to do when I was a kid. Perfect summertime meal!
That's a lot like how we used to do it on a Weber kettle way back when, Rus! And it's still a winner!👍😋
Winner winner chicken dinner haha, thanks Kevin!
Owwie, gooey chicken thighs & legs...now that's a great summer barbecue meal. Your awesome white barbecue shirt wouldn't last a minute with me lol..Thanks for sharing Rus!
Thanks NBL, I appreciate ya watching.
Looks good. Drumsticks and thighs. Top notch all the way
Thanks Bo! My favorites for sure!
Need the wife’s potato salad recipe! Great cook! Cheers!
Maybe I can talk her into sharing it. Thanks for watching!
These are the best cooks. Slow, Simple and Savory at the very end! Cheers bud!
Cheers Al and thanks for stopping by!
Russ always comes through with good recipes. Thanks Russ!
Our pleasure!
Chicken happens to be my favorite summer time protein to grill. It’s not rich like brisket. This chicken looks delicious Rus! Great cook!
Mine too Luis, thanks for checking it out!

Good video Rus , that makes me want chicken ! BBQ chicken is awesome with beer. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.......
Thank you Frank! Chicken goes with beer very well!

Thanks Boo! Yeah, it does a pretty good job preventing the sticking. Not perfect but good.
Like the dark red to black color on the skin
Yeah, it had great color as well as the flavor. Thanks for watching!
You look good for being in your 60's I will try this next weekend with my Weber kettle.....cant wait!!!!
Thanks, I appreciate ya watching the video! Enjoy
Looks great!! Love the back to basics!!

My kind of bbq.Thanks Russ. Mrs. Jones potato salad recipe please ✌🏻
Thanks and thanks for watching! Maybe I can get her to do a video making her potato salad
@@SmokyRibsBBQ That would be great!! Thanks again.
Hey Rus! ....that's just how I cook my chicken when I feel like going old school. Highlight of the video was you using the Bob Ross brush lol 😂😂 ....everyone using silicone brush now....LOL 😂. Definitely a fun cook yes indeed. Cheers 🍻
LOL at Bob Ross haha! Thanks for watching Stephen!
Old school cooking. I love it, where did you get the BBQ shirt from
Got it from Pitts and Spitts, thanks for watching!
Really like the grill. Good looking chicken 💯👍
Thanks 👍
This is old scholl bbq chicken looks good from a old sub!
Thanks, I appreciate it Glenn!
Real good cook! Love bbq chicken! One day I will do a video on my tater salad! 😀
Nice red weber kettle
It's about shot. Needs a rebuild kit.
You make one hell of a fine looking finger licking bird buddy 😋! That pits and spits is a chicken making machine! This and the vinegar base chicken reminds me so much of summer with my dad at Mt. Lake. If he wasn't BBQing chicken he was grilling sausage and peppers on a Coleman stove or steak on his little charcoal hibachi grill ❤. Good times.
Good times for sure! Thanks for the story and for watching!
I might have missed it but when do you move from direct to indirect heat?
As I said in the video, when the internal temp of the chicken gets around 160 degrees, I move to indirect and start basting with sauce until it slowly climbs up to around 185 degrees internal.
Thanks, looking forward to giving it a try tomorrow.
Cannot wait to try this!
Love BBQ chicken. Awesome
Glad to see I'm not the only one out there who prefers dark meat over breast meat Rus!!!
Looking good, I will be doing a Tri Tip tonight.
Thanks for watching
Ok I have dibs on your grill when you want to get rid of it. great video
No plans to sell Mojo, but if I ever do I'll let you know. Thanks!
When it comes to BBQ chicken, simplicity reigns supreme. All it needs is salt, pepper, and the BBQ sauce of choice.
dark meat chicken is the best by far!
I totally agree! Thanks Gail!
Russ, you put this grill over the Lone Star Grill?
The LSG’s I own are smokers except the Santa Maria, but I do put this over the Santa Maria, mainly because it’s adjustable like a Santa Maria but it has a lid to give it more functionality
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Did you sell the LSG pellet grill? I was looking at it and also the El Patron which cooks like this Pitts & Spits grill here. Thanks for your great video content.
I gave it to my youngest son, you’re welcome, glad you enjoy the content
Can you do a video on the potato salad recipe?
I may get my wife to show how she makes it if she is willing to share.
Do you sell your hats? I love the one your wearing. Nice looking cap.
Lance over at Sleeper BBQ makes the hats for me. You can email him at buellsfurn@comcast.net to order one. There are a few choices
that looked good
Thank you!
Potato salad recipe please!
Coming soon!

I do love some good dark meat chicken!
Thanks for watching Rusty!
Gonna try it, but how about dropping that tater salad recipe so we can get the full effect....Thanks!
If I can talk my wife into it
