    Teri see where you are going and looks good!
    But if you tuck the legs in as I suggested you don’t get that burnt look on the bone and it looks more Appetising to the eatter also not as dry as it’s tucked in!
    Just my opinion
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Try it in an oven bag . the skin is crispy but inside tender and moist. Doesn,t dry at all. Just spray with oil before you grill

    Got 3 last night and went out again this morning. Another dozen between us. It was old school cold in Southland this am. Had to smash ice for decoys and for the dogs to retrieve. About -5.
