It appears we don't have a thread for general chicken related cooks. Show us your chickens!
Made a spur of the minute decision today get some half-price wings, but ofcourse the supermarket was out of stock, which seems to be a favourite pastime of shops here
So settled on drumsticks. My firelighters disappeared, so tried to get the coals going with dried up eucalyptus leaves and twigs and oil-soaked newspaper. None of this stuff would catch fire to save its friggin life and my gas match died right in its ass so had to go to the shops to get some firelighters. Also looks like the rest of my charcoal is shitty tiny pieces, might have to throw it out and try a different brand. 
Geez, charcoal burns hot and is ready much quicker than briquettes. Had to nearly close off all the vents to get the temp down to a sane level lol
And when I closed off the vents at the end, the charcoal completely died out within minutes, unlike briquettes which still generate heat hours after shutdown!
