    Carbonizer,[p]Hot grease on the BGE is potentially risking serious injury and problems.

    Don't even think about doing this on the egg! Hot oil and fire are a lethal combination..........

    KFC is the best. Cook your chicken in the BGE with your favorite rub or barbecue sauce or both. [p]Pork Butt Mike

    Carbonizer,
    I'd just use a regular old Southern Fried Chicken recipe. I'm not sure that I'd worry about making it on the Egg since there is really nothing to be gained by cooking on the Egg that I can think of. You don't want or need smoke with Southern Fried Chicken and with a heavy iron skillet you can get pretty even heating on a stove. If you are talking about deep frying, let me add my voice to those crying "Nay! Nay!" If you are talking about real Southern Fried Chicken (why the heck am I capitalizing it over and over, lol?) then I just don't see a reason to do it in the Egg. But then, I'm real tired and maybe the old gray matter is missing something.[p]TNW

    BENTE,
    Dizzy Pig's chicken looks good think I'll try it. After reading all the responses, I guess I'll stick to fried chicken cooked inside. No need to burn my house down at this point.
    Damn, I thought that fried chicken on the BGE was my best idea of the day.
    Honey, is there any Rum left in the house?
    Thank's All

    <p />Carbonizer, how about a turkey fryer for doing fried chicken outside or shrimp, as in the pictures. Good Stuff! With a little patience, you can usually find a bargain on one. T[p]100_0427.jpg

    Got one already, used it twice only. Seems like a lot of work putting in taking out oil and cleaning for each use though, those shrimp look great!!

    tjv,
    After a second look it seems you have a frying pan or dutch on top instead of the 30 qt. pot that is normally used with the turkey fryer, that wouldn't be too hard.
    Iv'e used a lead furnace burner before for blackening in a cast iron pan, prettty much same as the fryer burner. Thank's

    Carbonizer, it's a 15 frying pan. I cut the handle off and added the swinging half loop handle so it can be used in the egg for blackening steaks and such. [p]Once you learn temp control with the gas burner, it's easier cooking than on the stove: plenty of heat if you need it, and the wife won't complain about the smell, mess and grease splatter.

    for something different, try smoked buffalo wings, they need alot of smoke and slow cook them til about 150 internal, then into the frier. hot sauce and bluecheese dressing. smofried wings are pretty good

    tjv,
    The first time I blackened anything was about 25 yrs. ago and I was living in an apartment building. You can guess the end result. The Fireman were nice about it though, just a "little" smoke.
