Close, but no Cigar

In my quest to cook the worlds best chicken, my latest try!
Usual bird , 5 lb non enhanced, brined overnite in simple brine.
Injected with 1 & 1/2  sticks butter mixed with 1 tsp Tony's.
Skin rubbed with butter &  Tony's
Put on kamodo on charcoal & pecan chunks.
Cooked @ 350F - 375 F till internal temp 162F, rested 30 min.
Very good, not my best but close.

Looks terrific. Love whole chickens.

Lookin' good, lostarrow!

Looks awesome!

looks great makeing me hungry i hate chicken as i cant seem to get flavor to the bone but that looks tasty

Perfectly cooked roast chicken is real treat. I know Steven has done several things on chicken, but I would taking a peek at the roast chicken recipes in Charcuterie by Ruhlman. They are the best I have ever made.

Having said that... that one looks delicious!

Sounds like it was pretty close to perfect, lostarrow. In fact, to paraphrase Emeril, it looks like the meat was so happy it decided to jump out of its skin.
