Competition Chicken Thighs - No Scrape Bite Through Skin!! | Pit Boss Austin XL

แชร์

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
  • In today's video we are smoking up some competition BBQ chicken thighs, and achieving that bite through skin that everyone wants WITHOUT scraping the skins! We will be cooking these competition chicken thighs on our Pit Boss Austin XL, and giving these comp style thighs thighs a nice soak in a butter bath to make sure they're extra juicy and tender! Achieving that bite through skin doesn't have to be hard if you follow this method!
    Don't forget, links for all products I used down below, and discount codes for the rubs, sauce, and knife!
    *****************************************************************************
    Prep:
    -Begin by removing the skin from the thigh, be careful to not rip the skin, but don't stress about it if you do.
    -Find the knuckle bones, and make cuts straight down, and remove the meat to begin to shape your thigh.
    -Then on each of the bone, even up the ratio of meat to match each other, and take off any extra fat, we don't want the judges biting into that.
    -Take your skin, and stretch it out on your board so it is tight, start squaring up the skin to fit the chicken, be sure to leave enough to overlap the thighs when you wrap the meat back up, or you risk the skins shrinking up.
    -Season your thigh meat with rub of you choice (we used Tailgater Party Rub, link and discount below), and then wrap the skin tightly around the thigh, ensuring to tuck under your edges.
    -Season the chicken skin portion of your thighs with the rub of you choice (we used SuckleBusters Honey BBQ, link and discount below).
    -Put the chicken thighs in a foil pan, and put in a few pats of butter (half stick to a whole stick, or more depending on how many thighs you're doing).
    -Touch up any seasoning that got rubbed off in the above mentioned process.
    To Cook
    -Get the smoker of your choice going, and set the temp at 300º F.
    -Put your thighs uncovered, and in the pan on your smoker, and let me cook for one hour.
    -After an hour, cover your pan with a sheet of tin foil, and set a timer for 30-45 minutes. At this time you can put your sauce on the smoker to start warming it up.
    -After 30-45 minutes, check the internal temps of your thighs, you're looking for an internal temperature of 200º. This may seem high, but the butter bath helps keeps it moist, as well as the fact it is dark meat, plus this temp help makes the meat tender.
    -After your chicken reaches the desired temperature, take your thighs and submerge them completely in your sauce. Drain the excess, and transfer them to a wire rack, and let the sauce set on the smoker for 5-15 minutes, while still maintaining a cooking temperature of 300º F.
    -After your sauce has set, let the chicken cool, and enjoy your success of easy bite through skin!

      @@Mathieu1696 That's like Texas. There are known for their beef bbq like brisket and ribs. We down south save our beef for steaks. Give us pork or chicken for bbqing. As for the competition cut, I know that's what it takes to win because presentation is a portion of the points but that's just a waste of a lot of good chicken by vulturing it up like that. Now separating the leg and thigh is different but the grill masters should be made to have to use all of it but that's just me.

They have a clean look to them instead of looking like some type of a non uniform shaped piece of chicken sitting on your plate. So far your video has been the best video I've seen. You make making these thighs look super easy and I will try your method.

    Made these today. They turned out fantastic, with one exception. The skin wasn’t “bite through”. Cooked uncovered for 1 hour at 300°, covered and continued cooking another 45 mins which brought the internal temp to around 196°. I sauced, placed on a rack and continued cooking another 10 mins. Looked and tasted great but skin was somewhat tough and rubbery. Maybe saucing before they got all the way to 200° was the problem??? Still tasted great and the meat was tender and juicy. Thanks!

    • @AshKickinBBQ
      @AshKickinBBQ  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hey man, so I suggest you do a test bite on one before saucing. If the bite isn’t good, they need more time for that fat to render. Keep in mind, you’re not going for crispy skin, you’re going for bite through skin. Usually my chicken is done over 200°. Good luck next time brother! Practice makes perfect! 🔥

    • @pizzulo81
      @pizzulo81 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Let the chicken and skin get to room temperature before you put them on the grill/smoker. If you put it on cold/cool the muscle fibers and skin won't be relaxed and will be constricted. This will make a rubbery skin and dry meat on the outside.

    Heck yeah Got my pit boss 850 recently and gonna try this tonight! I've only achieved bite thru skin twice in my life and that was on a pit barrel and a Weber.. every other time it's been dry or rubber so looking forward to trying it this way on the pellet grill! 🍻🍗

    Just did this today. I didn't do all of the trimming you did. Just cut off the straggler fat and booooooiiiiiii was it good.
    Every bit as good as the old school style of scraping fat off of the skin.

    200 degrees I.T. seems a little high but I have not tried it that high yet so I can't say that it is wrong. I pull mine at 175 I.T. and it is done through out. I enjoyed your video.

    • @AshKickinBBQ
      @AshKickinBBQ  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      200 enables you to render the fat under the skin which gives you the bite through skin. 165 is safe, but dark meat has more fat and still stays moist and get very tender. Give it a shot sometime, I think you’ll enjoy it!

    Excellent video. So what is the key for the bite through vs scraping ? Never really explained it other than just your total cooking process. I am guessing it's cooking the chicken to 200degrees?

    • @AshKickinBBQ
      @AshKickinBBQ  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Tony! So getting bite through skin was usually achieved by scrap a lot of the fat off skin. With this method, the cook process allows the bite through skin. Essentially the bite through is achieved during the wrap. The heat and steam renders the chicken fat and allows a clean bite. Hopefully that makes sense, and thanks for watching!
