Fried Chicken on a Weber Kettle

[John Solak]

I made some fried chicken on the kettle the other day and my Wife liked it so much she wanted me to make it again. Who am I to argue plus it is one of my favorite meals too.

Chicken thighs seasoned with some Lawry's Seasoning salt and some black pepper and then rolled in some flour.

Chicken fried for approx 7 min each side then finished indirect.

Some potatoes cooked in the microwave, cut lengthwise and then fried cut side down for about 6 minutes until they got a nice color on them.

Ready to serve

Plated with some steamed mixed veggies

Love it John!! My favorite way to fry chicken too! Something about letting them drip dry indirect makes them less greasy and yummy!

Just found my latest item to try. I will be making fried chicken this weekend. A quick question - Did you just heat the oil in the CI over the direct side and then cook once the oil was at temperature? I assume that the oil would come up to temperature quickly so no issues with one chimney set up 2/3 zone on a 22" weber. I will post my pictures and results by next Monday! Can't wait.

I was expecting Kettle Fried from the title, but this is hardcore deep-fried. Very nice.
