KFC HOT Chicken

LYU370 · Mar 24, 2019

Been cookng all weekend, so I decided to keep on going and cook up some Kamado Fried Chicken. Did it three different ways, seasoning/dredge, egg wash/dredge, batter (egg wash & dredge mixed together). Batter was the favorite, followed by the egg wash/dredge.

Assembled the ingredients...

On to the Big Joe...

Done. Crispy & spicy!

Added some extra spice. Hot oil, butter, cayenne, brown sugar, garlic. Made for an extra crispy crust.

Outstanding! Looks like it came right out of the fryer. Fantastic looking chicken!!

You're killing it this weekend Andy, looks excellent, going todo some KFC thighs tomorrow for dinner. Plan is to season with ORBBQ Smokey Chile Lime and a dusting of HDD, may hit a couple with Franks Red Hot at the end but I hate messing with a good thing.

Amen, Kevin.

Andy's been all over it and making me jealous.

I could really go for some of either his bird or what you described!

I did a Nashville thing at the end on some of them. MUCH hotter, but also a much crispier crust.

Dude, that looks fanfarkingtastic!

Those look great...I need to try this kettle/kamado fried thing one of these days. Did you cook them indirect? Kinda looked that way in the grill shot but wasnt sure.

LYU370 · Mar 24, 2019

Yep, indirect. 400.

OUT OF THE PARK. I am drooling!

Everyone's favorite was the battered chicken. Can't find House Autry's Chicken Breader around these parts, so I make due with what I can find.

Could you explain alittle more about how you battered the chicken.

LYU370 · Mar 24, 2019

Mixed the dry ingredients in one of the photos with an egg & buttermilk. Put the chicken in the batter, then onto the grill indirect at 400 until done. Crispy goodness! The Salt Lick Garlic is SPICY as hell on short cooks. It mellows out on longer cooks. Caught me by surprise the first couple times I used t.

Clay-b-que · Mar 24, 2019

Oh yeah! Did that last night too, but yours looks way better!

Hit one out of the park Andy.

The chicken looks great but, what is a Nashville thing?

That looks amazing

Basically, after the chicken is cooked, you dunk it in a hot oil mixture that contains additional cayenne pepper powder, brown sugar, garlic & paprika. I also added some Oakridge Crucible. Makes the crust extra hot & extra crispy.

That really does look awesome....If you had not said, I would have guessed it was fried!

Irishboy65 · Mar 25, 2019

cool

So basically fried chicken as normal - minus the frying but Plus a normal indirect 400 degree cook for 45 min or so? Also was there a lot of mess from batter drip page or no? I gotta try this.
