Kettle Fried Chicken Redux

Last time I tried this recipe, I thought the cook could benefit from a little higher heat via my frustum.

Used the Louisiana seasoned Chicken Fry mix again. However substituted a mayo slather for the batter called for on the package directions.

Dredged the thighs in the mix and started skin side down in the JJ. KBB for fire and PNW cherry for smoke.

20 minutes... a light spray with Pam.

And flipped.

Done at the 50 minute mark. Internal temp of the thighs averaged 208*.

Made a fruit salad earlier in the afternoon: fresh pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, tangelos, and grapes.
Drizzled with a reduction of fresh squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, lemon zest and Mexican vanilla extract.

Better! The mayo and HH did make a difference. Not earthshaking, but a definite improvement over the last cook. The meat was still moist and tender.

I still haven't tried this. Robert, I believe your cook will push me over the edge. The chicken looks great and how about that fruit salad. Nice cooking!
 
Will be trying the mayo method next time, That fruit salad had to be over the top. Also like your charcoal basket or is that a vortex :D

Looks great Robert!
I've gotta try that mayo trick.

Thanks, Bob! You should give the mayo a try. Doubt that you will be disappointed.

Thanks, Rich. It's a homemade vortex. Mayo slather is the bomb. Try it with wings and rub of your choice. Crispy and crunchy with moist and tender meat. Be sure to use your poortex.
