A thread entitled "Favo(u)rite BBQ Sauce - commercial or homemade - for pulled pork" is unlikely to be a thread about the health concerns of cholesterol. In fact, the chicken with the skin is probably better for you than the pulled pork without chicharrones.

excited for our upcoming supper… wherever it’ll be in Grass Valley, CA.
just learned that the bbq joint in Carmel’s The Crossroads (strip mall with Safeway) is very good. Big yay - future bbq meal ftw!
Even thighs are just less than cow & pig.

Fat = Flavor
Boneless, skin-on thighs are DeVine.
I'll walk around the block for 30 minutes.
As for bone-in thighs, I'll cook skin side up for the first 35 minutes away from the heat/coals, then skin side down for the last 5-7 over direct heat.

I agree that fat = flavor but the poster brought up his cholesterol issues & as you know all of the fat is right under the skin.

I have to grill skinless boneless chicken for my parents and chicken breasts are tasteless. If these chicken sandwiches were fried thighs, I really be in on the sandwich kick.

The issue isn’t that im over cholesterolized and that im preferring less cholesterol. As it is im walking average of 55 minutes per day.

I prefer my thighs and wings to be on the well done side, so if you want them especially juicy, you might need to cut down the grill time to a bit less than the aforementioned 40 minutes, but still turn them 4 times. Grilling is much more about trial and error and finding what YOU like than most types of cooking IMO.
will turn over 4 times. It’s at LOW
i covered it. I hope that’s not wrong. It’s only uncovered for the photograph.

Also, from time to time use a wadded up piece of aluminum foil to scrape off burnt drippings from those angled pieces under the grate that Weber calls "Flavorizer Bars", but if they're as old as the grates they're due for replacement as well. Both come in porcelain and stainless, but choose stainless.

Just cleaning them would be a good start---they should be cleaned every time that you grill. Those don't look like they have ever been cleaned.

The flavorizer bars or just the grates? After a long stint with charcoal, I'm now using a Genesis. I clean and oil the grates after every use, but I have yet to touch those flavorizer bars.

Edited to add PSA: Whatever kind of grill brush you use, be sure to go over the grates with a paper towel or cloth or something ( I dip mine in oil). People have choked on a few little wires that sometimes come off when you are scraping and then get on your food.
