Ingredients
- 2 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) chickens
- 1 heaping teaspoon hot chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon fennel pollen
- Dash ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 5 dried morel mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 carrots, peeled cut into chunks
- 2 onions, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 stalks celery, cut into chunks
- 26 ounces beer
- 1 1/2 quarts water
- Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows
- 4 cups instant white rice
- Black Bean and Corn Salsa, recipe follows
Directions
Break down chickens to get 4 breasts on the bone (with skin) and 4 leg-thigh pieces. Trim all fat and skin from the carcasses and hack into small pieces.
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, fennel pollen, white pepper, and fine salt. Rub all over chicken breasts, cover and keep refrigerated.
Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect grilling. Season chicken legs with salt and pepper, wrap in aluminum foil to form a pouch. Grill away from the heat source until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.
Place the chicken bones, dried mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion and salt in cheesecloth and tie off with twine. Add beer and water to stock pot and toss in tied up bones. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Simmer for 2 hours. Remove tied up bones.
After the legs have cooked for 1 hour, remove from grill. Discard skin and bones, shred chicken meat and set aside. Place dry rubbed chicken breast on grill skin side down over direct heat. Grill chicken, turning once, until cooked through about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat Barbeque Sauce to simmering. Stir in leg meat.
When the dish is 5 minutes away from finished, measure out 4 cups hot stock into a clean saucepan. Return to simmer, add white rice, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Slice chicken breast, serve over rice with leg meat and Corn and Black Bean Salsa.

Either this recipe is written poorly, or I must be reading it cock-eyed..
They say to butcher the chickens to yield 4 breasts and four thigh-leg combos to be seasoned and grilled seperately.
THEN...
'Place the chicken bones, dried mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion and salt in cheesecloth and tie off with twine. Add beer and water to stock pot and toss in tied up bones. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Simmer for 2 hours. Remove tied up bones.'
Where did the bones come from? Backs? Wings? The bones from the thigh-leg quarters after grilling?
I don't get it.
