Chicken halves, potatoes, and asparagus

I enjoy cooking doing the whole meal on the Egg. It's somewhat of a challenge, especially with timing.
Local place had a great deal on whole chickens ($.56 lb), so I bought a couple to freeze and a couple to cook. I decided to halve this one. About four hours before I rubbed with a homemade dressing I made a couple days ago (red wine vin, balsamic vin, canola, salt, pepper, honey, parsley, garlic pow, onion pow, season salt, and ranch seasoning).
Potatoes were scrubbed and dried well. Canola oil and liberal amounts of kosher salt.
Asparagus medley consisted of onion and sweet peppers. Canola oil, butter, salt, and pepper only.
All cooked at around 425°, indirect, for roughly 50 min.
Veggies were less. I let the CI get hot w/oil and butter, then added the veggies.
Pictures:
1 - Progress about 20-25 min in.
2 - Veggies in the CI.
3 - Chicken getting nice color
4 - Getting close to ready.
5 - Done
6 - I love taters on the Egg.

Thanks for taking a look.

It all looks good, but that chicken looks stellar! And I always forget to cook whole potatoes like that. Liberal on the salt, I like it...

Outstanding looking meal. Ya know...I've never done baked potatoes on the Egg before. Thought about it in the past, but for some reason I never did and nowadays I hardly eat them. Even half of one kills my blood sugar. Maybe I'll try it someday.
