KFC - first attempt (Pr0n heavy)

[Clayfish]

My first try at KFC last night, it went well, thanks to threads from Gore and Yobtav for the inspiration and technique. :clap:

Batter

Battered chicken legs

Set up kettle for indirect cooking

Maintain temps at 400F

Thin blue smoke provided by Jack Daniel's oak barrel chips

Finished legs

Juiciest legs ever!

Since the Missus is out, just serve with bourbon glazed wings as the veg!

Thanks for looking. :-D

 

[Phubar]

Very good result!

 

[millsy]

Looks like you nailed them

 

[Twelvegaugepump]

Love the veggie option!

 

[LMAJ]

Oh My! Looking good!!

 

[LMAJ]

Thank you! Now I know what I am making for dinner tonight - off to the store!!

 

[jsperk]

That looks awesome. Do you have the batter recipe?

 

[Clayfish]

Thanks everyone.

jsperk, I followed this batter recipe from Gore:
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95412. But I didn't have any parsley so I used coriander (cilantro) flakes instead.

Mum always told me to eat my veggies!

That looks beautiful! I love how moist the chicken gets using this technique and your pictures really demonstrate it. That chicken leg is mouthwatering! :thumb:

Oh, and don't take my recipe as gospel. There are a thousand different batter recipes and mine is nothing special. Smoky Al Gold used store-bought batter and Phubar has posted these about a dozen times using variations and they all look great! Just pick a batter (or flavors) you like.

Likely a stupid question...

Is it cooked directly on the grates?

 

[Old Smoke]

Indirect from the Phire.
