smoking Dry chicken

A lot of people, and restaurants, make a big deal out of "moist" chicken. I prefer mine dry. I like to cook it well done. I don't like those clear juices that run from the chicken, and I don't like the texture when it's moist. When it's dry, it gets meatier, and firmer. I was wondering how others prefer their chicken.
 
Man o' man, thehotpepper.com. Ever since the new site change around you've been posting like a mad-man! Before the site change-over, I never saw you on the boards. Welcome to your site! lol.

I really hate chicken, mainly because it is dry. I only like the dark meat on chicken. Breasts(chicken people, chicken) are right out for me. Give me a leg or a wing and some Defcon Condition 1 and I'm set!
 
Yes, welcome to your site Admin!! Hope ya stick around.. ;)

Most "moist" chicken that I've experienced in restaurants has been undercooked almost raw chicken. If chicken has been marinated for at least 2-4hrs and is cooked properly, you can get plenty of firm meat with the extra added flavor of the juice from the marinade. Not just raw chicken juice as most peeps get from "get em in and out" restaurants.

I'd love to hear some recipes from some of the bbq crew. Hint~Hint

Get you hands off the chicken. Wait a minute...You have a chicken?

As for having chicken both ways...Nope, not even gonna go there...
 
dry chicken reminds me of a thanksgiving we had several years ago when the turkey was dry....oh my God it was like chewing on a tennis shoe sole. nothing worse than crunchy turkey

Is it the warm weather? That's the second time in 24 hours that someone has said something that went over my head.
Nope, you just need to be taller.

Although, I'm 6 feet tall and that Beethoven comment went over my head as well...
 
UGH! Try to keep up here! Beethoven is dead (I guess that makes him a "Decomposer") and his body is dry, hence the dry "chicken". You guys are killin' me.
