Fried Chicken on the Mini BGE (pix)

First time using the Mini BGE as a fryer tonight.  My wife made some Paula Dean's stovetop mac n cheese to go with.  I wouldn't recommend doing this on a Large BGE.  The diameter on the Mini's grate is very similar to the diameter of an average indoor stove burner.  So the sides of a standard CI skillet extend slightly past the opening for the fire underneath.  The benefit of frying on the Mini is that your whole house doesn't reek of fried meat for 3 days.    Worked perfect and it will be my go-to for frying from now on.  The set up was the Mini Woo with the standard SS grate on top.

The chicken was seasoned with Seasoned Salt, Cracked Pepper and Cayenne Pepper.  Then, it was dredged in Flour, dunked in an Egg Wash, and finally dredged in Panko Bread Crumbs.  Fried the chicken covered with a slightly cracked lid (my DO's lid that happens to be a similar size for my CI skillet) for 5 minutes per side, then uncovered to finish for 5 min per side at around a 350 deg f oil temperature.

The Mrs'es Stovetop Mac n Cheese.  Lawdamercy it's good.....=P~

And our meal....  I've been dunking my fried chicken in ketchup since I was little. Don't hate.   

And here was our second batch of fried chicken that cooked up as we ate our dinner. 

And dessert.  Strawberries are fresh for us here in South Carolina right now.  We picked up a bucket of fresh strawberries from Sease's Strawberry Farm earlier today.  =P~  

Not much tops fresh vine ripened strawberries.  There were strawberries under the cool whip as well.    And topped with caramel sauce.  It was a good Saturday.
