Nine Chickens

Conumdrum:
Once or twice a year we cook lotsa chickens to vacupack and a few for neighbors.  This year I tried 9 in my YS640 at 275 on the bottom shelf.  I have done 8 before at a lower temp.  Next time I'll stick to 6 at no more than 250f.

The bottoms were not burnt, but not right.  I rotated every 45 min right to left, 3 at a time.  Still had the bottom bit too hot.  A few had middle wing bits rather hard to chew.

I gave two to my neighbor ($5 each at cost), cut 3 in half to vacupack (6 bags), peeled 4 for vacupack (8 bags).  So got chicken for a while.

The best part is the chicken stock.  I should end up with 10 1 cup bags of reduced chicken stock from all the bones etc.  Two day process, but worth it.

Winner winner 9 chicken dinners. They look great.

PelletMuncher:
Wow! I didn’t know you could fit that many birds just on the bottom shelf of the yoder.

TLK:
Looks great!  I do the same but cut the birds in half before smoking them.

Nicely done!
