PREPARING YOUR BIG GREEN EGG
Pre Heat your Big Green Egg to 200˚ and (if desired) load with your preferred smoking wood chunks (Layer in the wood chunks to create an even sustained smoke flavor)
If using EGGgenius, add it now, setup ambient probe and adjust temp to 375˚
Add the ConvEGGtor legs up, ADD a convEGGtor drip tray and then place grill grate on top of convEGGtor
Close dome and Adjust Temp to 375˚ (adjust bottom vents and top rEGGulator)
Place the Dutch oven with chicken and vegetables on the grill grate
Load the EGGgenius probe into the thickest part of the breast
DO NOT COVER THE CHICKEN DURING THE COOKING PROCESS
Close the lid and cook at 375˚ until temperature reaches 165˚ internal
Using oven gloves or heat resistant gloves, remove Dutch oven from the Big Green Egg
CHEF TIP: I remove my chicken right at doneness temp, then allow any carryover cooking to help ensure the dark meat reaches temp of 180˚ at the thigh
Carefully remove chicken, slice and serve with roasted veggies
Slice and enjoy with our Au Jus or Horsey Sauce
