@@yechezqelyehudi5164 No. Because it's just a mucus membrane that occurs naturally. It is more pronounced when the chicken has been soaked in water or enhanced. If the chicken is air chilled you won't get the same level of sliminess. 👍🏾
20-year chef instructor here -- Terrific video that concisely and correctly provides lots of information and tips. I am impressed. Also, love maps, too. Good job. A+
Outstanding, uncle b. You certainly display the heart of a teacher. Your cadence and tone stick with me. Going to do this step for step next time. Take care
Great video!! About to try my hand at smoking some leg quarters on an offset. One thing though...I could not find the brine directions. I'm sure it's something simple but I would appreciate it if you or someone could point those out. THANKS
Great Video, I like the tool you use to break through the skin and membrane so the meat will take on more of the brine and juices as it smokes. I do this with a fork or small knife but have always wanted to get one of those tools/meat tenderizers. You just made up my decision. it is important to puncture the muscle membrane on a lot of game meat like squirrel, rabbit etc... so the flavor runs through, thanks for the prodding, lol
Thanks for watching! The Jaccard also helps make better skin because those holes allow the fat to escape from the skin. It's on sale right now. amzn.to/39Iknj3
No. I never do because it is unnecessary, the spine protects the chicken while smoking and provides something to grab on when you move them around. Think about it, when was the last time you ate a thigh or leg quarter from a chain chicken restaurant that didn't have the spine attached? Save your time. I have sold a ton of these leg quarters.
@@UncleBirdsBBQ food for thought! Thanks for the info. I do quarters every once in a while, and a few days ago was actually the first time I bought them and they had the spine attached. I thought it was odd, but I see now it’s rather common. Good to know it’s no issue to leave them on. I’ve been cutting it off to clean it up, but if it’s not necessary, it’s not necessary. Thanks for the tip!
MMM, I always seem to watch the best looking BBQ right before lunch. Looking forward to trying your technique, thanks! And love the idea of doing everything in the sink, what a easy cleanup.
The bits left over from the internal organs are rinsed off after the Leg Quarters are removed from the brine. I don't normally remove anything else other than the glob of excess fat and the chicken's tail.
The feathers on the leg quarters are always down at the bottom of the leg where the foot is cut off and on the tail. I remove the feathers when I prep them, sometimes I may not catch them all before it goes on the smoker but if see some that I missed while the quarters are cooking I remove them then. Basically, I am looking to remove them during the entire process from prep to cook.
Uncle Bird: “Now I use like a pigtail flipper to flip my chicken. It has like a long steel pole and…” Me: “Honey get me a beer and make sure our pigtail meat flipper has a microscopic needle on the end! I’m fixing to go buy a couple bags of leg quarters to brine for smoking tomorrow if the storms don’t blow away my smoker.” 😂 Sure like your channel Uncle Bird! 👍 👍
That Perdue 10 pound bag has less fat, you have to spend a little bit more , but the quality of the Purdue leg quarters are second to no other chicken brand!
Why TH-cam never let me see your videos is beyond me...but I’m here now. Where do you get your brine bags? Duh...why don’t I look in the description dummy! 🤦🏻♂️
My goodness that's high. They are still cheap here in TN. I grabbed a couple of 10lb bags for 39 cents per pound about two weeks ago before they went up to 49 cents per lb.
I rinse to remove the nasty bits and excess salt from the chicken. Where I am from it is expected that the chicken is rinsed prior to cooking. 😀 I just use a small stream of water to keep it from splashing eveywhere.
That’s not how you clean chicken no vinegar no lime juice no garlic you left a bunch of fat on who is teaching y’all niggaz how to cook didn’t let the seasoning sit y’all bugging
Nah, brine is BS. Brine dies NOTHING for the birds, or rats for the matter. Learn how to smoke. Brine is for people that cant smoke, or BBQ for that matter.
Very informative!! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it Johnny!
@@UncleBirdsBBQ ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE SLIME UNDERNEATH THE SKIN?
@@yechezqelyehudi5164 No. Because it's just a mucus membrane that occurs naturally. It is more pronounced when the chicken has been soaked in water or enhanced. If the chicken is air chilled you won't get the same level of sliminess. 👍🏾
@@UncleBirdsBBQ OK HELP ME IF I'M MISSING SOMETHING!IN YOUR OPINION,HOW DO I GET RID OF THE SLIME IN CHICKEN?
@@yechezqelyehudi5164 You have to cook the chicken to get rid of it.
Heard the dudes voice and immediately trusted anything he’s saying. This man just sounds like he cooks some mean ass BBQ
Yessir I do. Thanks for watching 👍🏾
These are so underrated. I love smoking leg qtrs
Feeds a lot of folk cheap. 😁
Thank you Sir. Some very helpful tips I did not know. I've been bbq'ing for 40+ years and still learning some new tricks.
Awesome. Thank you! I always grill with all that fat and it causes fire flare up. Now I know what to do thanks to you!
I learned more about practical kitchen and food safety in this than any other video. Great job.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you. 😁
Just made this and that was some of the best chicken I've ever had in my life.
You the neighborhood chicken champ now.
You need Food Network to call you. Your instructions are systematic and informative. Thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate the awesome comment.
Awesome vid….love your narration…props from Ontario, Canada
I like the way you work. I picked up quite a few tips that make the prepping less messy.
Thanks for watching. Glad I could help provide you some pointers. 😀

Thank you.
Makes me want to go to the store and get some leg quarters to smoke using his advice! Keep up the great work!
You should!
Outstanding, uncle b. You certainly display the heart of a teacher. Your cadence and tone stick with me. Going to do this step for step next time. Take care
Please do! Let me know how everything turns out. 😁
You are very right my man ,took me awhile to learn that chicken definitely does not benefit at all from slow and low cooking 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Hot and Fast is the way to go 👊🏾

Here ya go th-cam.com/video/0sWl_GbPYH0/w-d-xo.html
thanks for the jaccard tip... I just got one
Enjoy it
Nice video. Thanks. Maybe a couple of dish towels rather than paper towels. A little more cushion?
The paper towels help the cutting board stick to the sink so it doesn't slide around. When I get done I just throw them away. 😁
I’m trying this Saturday
Go for it. It works 👍🏾
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Very well done. 👏
Thank you very much!
This is awesome and very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
First time I seen this dude. Liked 20seconds in cause that accent says I know how to bbq
I sure appreciate it 😁
@@UncleBirdsBBQ recipe is the truth. Did it and came out great man. Thanks
@@drozdood9 Great glad everything worked out 👍🏾 No more dry chicken 😁
Great video brother. I just subbed to your channel.
Thanks for the sub!
Appreciate you brother great video!
I appreciate that
Thanks
Welcome
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
That looks delicious Uncle Bird. Gotta try it.
Go for it 👍🏾
That looks amazing!
My chicken never seems to come out quite that nice.
Thanks for watching. You can do it too. That's why I love BBQ because you can eat your mistakes.
Pre heat cooler? What is that. Is the cooler hot? How do you get it to be hot?
You just pre-heat it by adding super hot water and keeping it closed for at least 30 minutes. It will hold your hot meat longer. 👍🏾
wow!! Nice job.
Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson
You're welcome 😁
Very informative, I picked up some good tips here. (although the echo on the voice was kinda distracting)

Man...🤤🙌🏾🔥Oooweee..thanx brother 🤝🏽
You're welcome. Thanks for watching 👍🏾
how often do you spray the chicken? also if i have a water pan, what's your opinion/recommendations for it?
Normally about 3-4 times per cook. Water pan is useful for controlling the heat on some grills. What type of grill/smoker do you have?
Thx new dad... awesome video
Glad you liked it😁
Very sharp knife helps
Sure does 💪🏾
Awesome
Chicken leg quarters are the most underrated pieces of protein alive... I SAID IT DAMMIT! Lol
My favorite too. Super cheap and can cook a bunch. Leftovers are a blessing and running out is a sin.
@@UncleBirdsBBQ agreed! lol it always amazes me when I can find 10lbs of food for like $6
Most definitely. They are my favorite.
Wow ok thank you brother 🙏
You're welcome 👍🏾
I drink every time he says nasty glob of fat. I’m wasted
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Smoked chicken is honestly one of my favorite things to get at any bbq place! Great video and an instant subscribe from me! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you!
You don't trim off the spinal section?

Why brine quarters, as they're already juicy/fatty ?
It seasons them to the bone and protects the meat from overcooking. Your quarters will always be better if you brine them.
I see you, sir. Good video.
Thanks for watching 👍🏾
We need a new video
Working on it. Got a 14 year boy that knows everything already that I am dealing with 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about the red guck? I always remove that too. Nice video, I just subscribed. Keep it up bro!
The bits left over from the internal organs are rinsed off after the Leg Quarters are removed from the brine. I don't normally remove anything else other than the glob of excess fat and the chicken's tail.
Yep we call it the valley take your finger and rake out the valley!!! good video!!!

Does the vinegar make the skin robbery?
The vinegar won't make it rubbery. Using a smaller chicken with thinner skin and cooking at a high temperature prevents the skin from being rubbery.
Ok yes sir
It’s time for a new turkey video.
NEW SUBSCRIBER ALERT
Thank you for the sub 👍🏾
I grilled chicken last night wearing the identical hat that your wearing😂😂😂😂
The hats make the BBQ taste better. It's my secret. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A little drawn out with some descriptions but pretty good.
I've always been long winded 🤣
That Perdue 10 pound bag has less fat, you have to spend a little bit more , but the quality of the Purdue leg quarters are second to no other chicken brand!

Thank for watchin 👍🏾
Nice prepping, but you could have cleaned them a little more
Thanks for watching Fard. I am always looking to improve. When you say clean them more, what area do I need to clean more? Thanks. 👍🏾
Great video.
Not gonna lie, fat is the reason I prefer leg quarters.
💯 Fat = Flavor
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching 👍🏿
Thank you for using a brine. So many videos of leg quarters and no one uses a brine. I weep for that dry chicken every time.
🤣🤣 You're welcome. I don't make any chicken unless it is brined. If I don't have time to brine I'm eating something else.
I add a small amount of seasame oil and white vinegar, seasonings then spritz with fish sauce, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar
Why does it really need a brine. The cut is so juicy itself

@@UncleBirdsBBQ if we wait long enough we might get $0.99 but that's been a while. Wings are $5 raw unseasoned - nearly cheaper to eat out for wings!
