He’s getting as much egging in as possible before the baby arrives.

Man, this is our first and these classes feel intense.  This is as overwhelming as posssile.  Regardless, my beautiful wife (trademark Ron) will at least eat well. She’s doing all the work, I’ll just cook some food

Looks great brother. 

You have made a rookie Dad mistake though. You have let her see how “easy” the Egg is. 

Early Dad Guidelines to Life

1) Always have an escape project

2) Keep the family fed and happy

3) Only take a kid if it’s recently eaten and pooped.

Looks awesome.

Question- did you par boil the spuds before putting them on? I tried a cook like this once and the chicken finished before the veggies and I haven't tried since.

No sir.  But I cooked hot, about 450F.

Are these bone in and what temp did you cook at/to? I've done thighs and drums indirect lately around 400 and I'm not getting the crispy skin it looks like you are.

Yes. These are bone-in.

 For  crispier skin there are a handful of things you can do. As for my cook, I did two things to specifically target the skin.  1) I cooked high in the dome. The radiant heat coming down does a lot for the skin.  2) after the first 10 mins or so, I added a small amount of butter to the top of the thighs.  Works really well on Turkey skin at thanksgiving, so why not chicken, right? 

A couple of the other things you can do are let your raw chicken air dry on a sheet pan in the fridge or use a little corn starch with your rub.
