Title: Vortex Chicken Thighs With Fancy Sides
Post by: bamakettles on December 12, 2020, 03:43:51 PM: Fired up Big Red tonight with the Vortex for some crispy skin chicken thighs and Kellee’s garlic parmesan potato wedges with a cheddar cheese dipping sauce and spicy corn salad. Chicken seasoned with It’s Incredible and Killer Hogs BBQ rub. Turned out really good. Enjoyed sipping Crown Royal Black during the cook. Ready for the Auburn game....

Yeah, it was a lot of fuel, the small chimney was leftover Kingsford I wanted to get rid of from another cook. I could have easily cooked two dozen thighs, but there’s just two of us. Goal was to get to the 500F mark which was easily achieved with a full vortex. The crispy skin was amazing...

Post by: bamakettles on December 14, 2020, 06:08:12 AM: Thanks guys......wings, thighs, drums - I just about don't want chicken any other way after cooking them like this. But, rotisserie time is coming soon which is also extremely enjoyable.

Post by: AZ2FL on December 14, 2020, 06:23:59 AM: I have a vortex and don't recall ever using it for chicken thighs. I'll have to give it a try.

I spin 8-10 chicken leg quarters on a roti. Skin is crispy and meat is moist.

Cool roti basket attachment - inspirational for sure!
