Found this Shake and Bake Pretzel coating mix and gave it a shot. I mixed it with my old stand by for KFC which is Dixie Fry.
The coating gave the chicken a nice crunch and great color . I will use it again .

Ham, green bean casserole , Au gratin spuds and baked yams filled with Feta and candied walnuts I roasted on the grill . I used a charcoal ring from my 18.5 WSM as a basket and added a half chimney of lit coals to that . I ran at around 275-350 and got about 5 hours of cook time which was plenty to get the job done.

Wonderful...just wonderful. That food looks delicious and seeing a Ranch loaded up like that puts as smile on face. Bet it was some fun.
Idahawk - great cookup! Love to see that ranch in action and the results look incredible. Thanks for sharing

What a glorious looking cook and plate up! and way to take advantage of all that space - it's a complete feast done on a single kettle! Going to have to try out the pretzel KFC too...
Awesome cook! Everything looks awesome. How long did the chicken cook for?
A bunch of the major food groups.....all done up nice !!!
The first little part of the post doesn't show a pic or something....would like to know what gives on that coating mix if that's a part of it.....it looks real good....that, along with one Craig did seems like how I'd like it to go .........

I soaked the chicken in buttermilk and then dredged in Dixie fry mix and then into the shake and bake , then I just mixed the two , lol .
