My third cook on my kettle and I have been craving chicken thighs. I found out about kettle fried chicken and gave it a go and it was so good.
Used flour, a bit of baking powder to help crisp the skin and holy voodoo to coat the thighs.
Cooked indirect with a chunk of cherry for about 35 minutes until i pulled them at 190f internal.
Will 100% make this again

never tried putting the baskets like a fake volcano before. I guess it will cook a lot of pieces more evenly compared to the regular way of doing things (one side direct/ other indirect).
What’s the reason you stuck the wood on the grate? Just curious because I’ve never seen it. When I started experimenting with smoking on my kettle, I put chunks of woods straight on the charcoal and I just never strayed from that method.
Did the skin turn out crispy? I’ve been struggling with chewy skin
Thats a huge vortex and something I can do . Good post
One of my absolute favorites. I recommend removing the bone, laying them flat, then using them as the main ingredient of an incredible sandwich. And all for about $3.
I do cornstarch instead of the baking powder and they turn out great too. Love experimenting with seasoned flour kind stuff before grilling skin on chicken
Get sum char on dem birds
Why are you only cooking 5?
that skin looks like it is about to make some serious noise
