I really wanted to fix these tenders perfectly for the wife, but failed miserably! Not that they weren't tender and juicy, but because they weren't browned to her liking. Does anyone feel my pain? LOL Here's what happened; I wanted to smoke my chicken thighs, so I started out at 225* and let them ride till they hit 130*. Took them off the grill and covered, then I jumped the temp to 335*. Thinking the grill grates would be about 100* hotter, they would brown nicely. Once the grill hit 335* I put the thighs on and let them get to 155* before adding the tenders to the upside down GG's.
Closed the lid for 5 min, then looked. Barely any browning on the bottoms and temp at 161 rising fast. I pull them off the grill, put the thighs skin side down on the GG's and close the lid. In panic mode now. I put those white little pieces of meat on my Weber grill and get out the blow torch. They turned out more singed than brown. To top off the disappointment for the wife, my thighs turned out gorgeously brown.
I think in the future i will try 425* on the up right GG's, and place one of the GG's on top of them getting both sides at once. Any thoughts are welcomed!
