I wanted to try a roasted chicken with the Vortex. I'm still trying to realize the capabilities of this device, so far so good. I went with a simple rub, EVO with seasoned salt and pepper.
I filled one chimney and added some more coals with a little apple wood. This is a lot of fuel, might have to cook something else too.
Chicken is on with the thermopop, I really need to get a Maverick.
I cooked it about 50 minutes and it was done.
Resting.
I anticipated having plenty of fuel left, so I prepared a meatloaf while the chicken was cooking.
Meatloaf at 45 minutes. The big advantage with the meatloaf was that I could dump the excess grease in the foil pan inside the Vortex.
I cheated a little and finished it off under the broiler for some carmelization, is that a word?
The chicken was good, I think I'm going to stick with Costco roasted though. It's just too easy and cheap to pass up.
The meatloaf was very good. This recipe has never failed but hey, it's meatloaf, hard to mess up.
Thanks for looking.
