Grilled Chicken? More like Grilled Charcoal

I never, I mean NEVER mess up my grilling. But today was something else. Perfect marination, the grill was fired up just right. Veggies on point, too. But I got caught up bragging to my neighbor about my 'flawless technique'. Next thing, my legendary chicken is offering itself as a sacrifice to the grilling gods. All I got left is a great story how I created chicken charcoal on a perfect Sunday.

Don’t let it get you down, happens to the best of us! My trick is not to take my eyes off the grill once the meat’s on—my friends know not to bug me when I’m in the zone. Get back on that horse, kick the tires and light the fires, and show that chicken who's boss next weekend!

A moment of silence for the fallen feathered friend. Next time, keep those BBQ skills on the down-low until you've actually got something edible on the plate. Your neighbor probably hexed your grill with envy. 😆

RIP chicken, may you cluck in the great beyond or at least make some decent coal for Santa’s naughty list. Jokes aside, put a lid on the bragging next time and perhaps your chicken won't have to take the roast for it, literally!

Ah, the charcoal chicken, an ancient delicacy known to the most prestigious of pitmasters...NOT! 😂 On a serious note, everyone burns something from time to time. Key is not letting it put you off. Throw another bird on the grill, adjust your setup, and try again. You're only a true griller if you've turned your food to carbon at least once, right? Keep it smoky—just not too smoky!

F in the chat for the chicken, my dude. You're not alone. We’ve all been distracted at some point only to look back and see that our 'perfectly good meal' turned into a science experiment. Happened to me last 4th of July. Now I use a timer on my phone, even if I feel like I'll remember. Saves my bacon...or chicken, so to speak!

There goes the no-hitter! Whoops. 🥴 Every grill king or queen has a story like this - wear it like a badge of honor!

The path to true BBQ enlightenment is paved with burnt offerings, my friend. Next time keep a fire extinguisher handy, 'cause from what you described, that chicken didn't stand a chance! Seriously though, all jests aside, try using a two-zone fire. Gives you a safety net if things get heated - pun intended. You’ll keep the edge of being a grill god without the pyrotechnic chicken sacrifices. Learn and 'burn', as they say!

Man, that's rough. Guess even the best grillmasters have a bad day, huh? Could've happened to anyone, lol. Have you ever tried one of those Bluetooth meat thermometers? Might help next time if you get wrapped up in convo again.
