Yummy Chicken goes to Joshua Tree

[Smokey Lew]

I've used Yummy Chicken Dry Rub at home and have been very pleased with the flavor profile. However, I was curious how the chicken would taste under harsher eating conditions . . . a picnic in the very arid Joshua Tree National Park.

The park is only about a two hour drive from our house and since we've never been there before, why not road test a chicken?

Chicken on the grill with a piece of cherry wood for smoke and plenty of Yummy Chicken rub on the bird at 8:30 am.


Chicken nearly done and ready to pack for our adventure.


Chicken resting with some cilantro garnish at home just before packing up for the trip.


Plated chicken with some bigwheel's beans, macaroni salad and sliced red bell pepper wedges. This was at the day use area at Joshua Tree. So far the chicken looks like it's holding up.


Smokey Lew and friend dig in for the Joshua Tree Yummy Chicken test . . . it was pretty darn good!


Typical Joshua Tree scenery.

Very nice test Lew. The chicken looks great as well as the plated picture, all looks "YUMMY." What a beautiful National Park, you are very lucky to be so close ... isn't retirement nice?

Your chicken looks so good I just went to Knox Spice ordered a couple Yummy Chickens. If Smokey Lew endorses it, it has to be good.

Looks good. Thankfully the G'men did not find any excuse to put you in jail for breaking some exotic park rule. I nearly went to Sing Sing over a metal detector at Yosemite one time. Figger abusing dead chickens on Guv'ment property prob be a capital offense of some sort.

Very nice Lew. I'm a fan of Yummy Chicken too. I have been to Joshua tree once probably 10 years ago, I came home with 2 twisted ankles. Very nice park too.
