The Chicken, results and tangential question

Results: Dang, putting the bird up on the grid extender above the grid sitting on a the plate setter really got the bird up into the dome. I let the bird air dry in the fridge for 24 hours and between that and the raised position, I got some lovely skin. Of course, the wife (yes, the wife who......) pulls the lovely skin off and just eats the meat, but what you gonna do? Scooby the Wonder Dog stepped up to the plate. I actually didn't do "The Chicken" per se. I used a dressing/marinade under the skin and over the skin which was quite nice. It is supposedly a Cheesecake Factory Southwest dressing (found it over on the Primo forum for shrimp). The potatoes didn't get done, so next time I need to cut them in half, but the poblano peppers smelled so nice while they were cooking!
Tangential question: "The Chicken" as presented by AZRP involved dipping in sort of a hot sauce after the chicken was done cooking. I saw on a food show a restaurant in Harlem (I think) that dipped fried chicken in honey after it came out of the fryer. Does anyone know about this or remember where I saw it? It was some time ago....
Thanks!

I'm just trying to play straight man for you. But you failed. I'm looking for the restaurant that dips it in honey AFTER the chicken is fried. But nice try.... :-)

I wonder if you are thinking of the Chicken and Waffles episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay that came on a couple weeks ago? He threw down with a lady in Harlem. I can't remember if she dipped her chicken in honey though.

Nope, this was several years ago and it was a restaurant that the show visited. I think we found it. Thanks!The Naked Whiz

I quartered my potatoes and they were done in an hour at 350 dome. Cooking the chicken up high like that gets me crunchy skin even without air drying. -RP

These were those small potatoes you get in a string bag, but I picked the larger ones, so next time I think 1/2 should do it. Thanks!The Naked Whiz

Azrp do you get crispy chicken on the raised grid without the flour also? Hoss
-
Yes I do, but keep in mind that I overcook my birds to get the crispy skin. I usually take them to 195-200 internal. BTW, Kim just called me and said she ran into your mom at Costco this morning. -RP

Well thats cool! Thanks to you my mom and some of her friends cooked spareribs for Eaaster. It was her first real cook on the egg. Thanks again Hoss

I have "honeyed" my fried chicken after the cook since knee high to a grass hopper. My dad, a native Texan, claims the flock of "everything is bigger" crew in the Longhorn state takes credit for this creation. Not sure if that is accurate but sure is delicious.
