Chicken on the drum

I finally got some time to cook on the drum again.
This time I did chicken. The temps outside was in the high 40's and I had no problems getting to temp and holding it there.
I peeled back the skin and seasoned under and over the skin.

I fired up 10 coals with the torch and let those turn grey before I put them in the center of a full basket.
I cooked these at 350 until done with the chicken skin side up. Once done I flipped the chicken over for 5 minutes or so to crisp up the skin.

Yeah I noticed that too..I used some of the old coals and put 10 of the fresh on top in the chimney.
The skin did turn out perfect this time too!
