I literally just made this!!!!!! I used the spices I had around… Came out so delicious!!!! My family and of course I had to flex and give my neighbors some! Thank You Sir for sharing your knowledge… it made it all the way down to San Antonio Tx… I have Webber Kettle MasterTouch with a Velocity Grill… Works Perfect!!!
Wow!! That is definitely the best fried chicken ever!! I can’t wait to try that!! That’s such a great method for fried chicken it may make this northern guy look like he knows what he is doing!! Thanks for posting!!
This is a great idea. I'm going to overnight brine the chicken thighs and use buttermilk as wet ingredient for the dredge. I've never thought to do chicken this way. It should also be healthier than frying it (kinda like airfrying). Thanks bro for this video.
@@varians8762 You can make buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 cup of whole milk. Stir then put in fridge about 20 minutes to thicken
I love your videos. You actually stopped my anxiety attack. Very calming to listen to your positive and energetic voice but soothing at the same time. With some coal on the background! God bless.
I have been looking at different grills/smokers for a while now, and I think between you and Harry Soo you have both helped sell me on the Weber Summit. I was initially looking at a smoky mountain or an Old Country Brazos, (while the Brazos looks like a real good deal for the price point, I don't want to spend my whole day managing a firebox). The summit looks like is has the versatility I'd really enjoy more, and with a blower system it looks like I can keep up rock solid temperatures. Thanks for the videos
First time I have seen a fried chicken cook on a charcoal grill. I AM HEE FOR IT! Been messing with my vortex on a webber kettle and have pulled off some amazing cooks,. Now to do fried chicken on it, now that will be an amazing cook!
I just want to say, while I thought the Vortex would just be a so-so accessory to use, it really is a game changer. I've done a ton of chicken with it ( which everyone loves the end result ), but will go with lamb chops tonight, where I usually use baskets or a Slow n Sear on my Summit Charcoal. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Thank you, again, for promoting some of the Suckle Busters products. I love them all I have bought! Had a chance to visit a retail store that carried some S.B. items when I went out of town. You need to try their peach BBQ sauce. DELICIOUS! Also, I would recommend you try out some 3 Eyz seasoning on pork. My brother-in-law gave me a bag, and it is super-good.
Thanks so much for the recommendations. I'm always on the hunt for different flavor profiles when grilling. Suckle Buster is definitely one of my favorites. I'm hooked ion the clucker dust chicken rub and will be trying others as well. "Peach BBQ sauce sounds amazing!!! Wow!
How does the Vortex compare to just using the 2 char baskets in the middle and getting those fired up really hot? Does it come close to what the Vortex can do?
@@cindykee3719 It is something you don’t have to have. It is a funnel with two sides. Having the wider side up is great for indirect l, and then using a grate over it to sear items at the end. With the narrow side up it does actually funnel and concentrate the heat up and around. I am not sure how much of the heat goes out my top center vent on my Weber Charcoal Summit/Kamado, but when I spray oil on my wings they are certainly crispier, and everything cooks faster, Yes, I do flip, but I also turn my grate at times 180 degrees and 90 degrees. Again, a great tool that works, and it is fun finding something that actually works, but it is not necessary to have. It is one of the cheapest investment you can make, and there are generic versions, but it is my go to tool and certain cooking situations. I know what I like, but it is the feedback from my family that makes the Vortex a clear winner. Eventually your baskets will go/wear out after much use. You can choose to replace them, get Slow n Sear or a Vortex, or something else. The further you go trying things and cooking often, you will find things that you like that expand your cooking game. Last thing ai want to try and find us a 24 inch cast iron plancha to use as a big griddle. I have a cast iron griddle and drip pan, and a big cast iron pan, but I would certainly have more fun, and feel I would be complete. Some folks never get accessories or really enjoy their time outside, but it has certainly become a great escape for me, and something that I occasionally feel I have mastered, until I learn I haven’t. Take notes, every cook is different, get out of your comfort zone and have fun, while being safe.
@@cindykee3719 You are certainly welcome. The last thing I bought was a cheap weed burner from Harbor Freight Tools for $25 that I hook up to a propane tank. It gets my charcoal going in a few minutes. Wear a heat resistant glove and sunglasses or glasses to be safe. It had a cheap weld for the halo part that spread the flame, and that broke off, but it still works. No need for a chimney any more, well, rarely. Some people spend over $200 for a tool to light their charcoal.
@@DskiGrillz enjoying it a ton. Only three cooks thus far. The first cook I blew it on a tritip because I'm out of practice with coals. Been gas for decades. Now I'm back online with coals/wood chips. Second two cooks came back outstanding with Bogo lump charcoal. Really good chicken thighs yesterday with indirect cook and late lashes of bbq sauce. Tasty I enjoy your videos. You think the wok is worth it?
loupizza22 Absolutely. I need to do more cooks using it. I posted a video a few years back making an awesome stir fry. The wok works well with the summit.
That is an incredible idea and cook. I have been looking to get a vortex and now I am sold! 1 suggestion. Use both hands with breading one wet and one dry. It will not be as messy.
I bought a Vortex and it hasn’t been all that useful so far. I’m going to have to try this recipe and see if I can get my money’s worth out of that Vortex! Looks awesome. Thanks
@@DskiGrillz We made it last night! It took a while to find that one spice and also the chicken rub. They were really good. I think I will cook them a little longer next time. We only cooked them 45 minutes total.
Great cook! Love that you could re-use the lump from your prior cook. The Summit's efficiency with charcoal is amazing. Did you rotate the chicken? I would have thought it was necessary given the high heat coming out of the vortex, but it doesn't look like you did.
John. I didn’t move the once and achieved those results. It came out amazing! I do recommend using the cooking spray mid-stream to make sure you maintain a golden brown crust though.
I saw Malcom Reed do this with wings. So I bought a Vortex charcoal burner for my Weber. I want to try this too. But I will try one of the KFC Original copycat recipes.
Great video bro, do you use lime or vinegar to wash the bird? I got a lemon tree in my yard so I use that. Gives it a little marinade at the same time.
Absolutely. The key to getting the crispy skin is all around temp control. If you are able to hold temps around 350 to 400 degrees, it doesn’t matter what grill or accessory you use. I will be posting a crispy Cajun wing cook soon on my Weber summit charcoal grill. I achieved the exact same results without using the vortex. Thanks for checking out the video!
Good video Dski. I cook pretty much every day using lump charcoal and I'm always arranging it with my hands, just like you. Do your hands a favor and buy a couple pair of Plainsman Premium Cabretta gloves. It won't take long before they look terrible, but they keep on protecting the hands nevertheless. And as long as you don't bring them into the house, your wife will be happy too. I've been cooking on a LSG Adjustable Grill & Smoker which I dearly love, but I also like Kamado cooking, so I'm about to pull the trigger on a Weber Summit.
Nice video and presentation. What size Vortex you using in that 22.5" kettle? I've heard some people say, go with the small one, the Medium and Large are too big.
Never had it DONE that way using the technique of the grill. Took the oven fried chicken method and put it on the grill I got to give you heads up on that
randall snider Thanks Randall, the vortex I own is a medium size. If you check out the sight it will give you the info on what size works best for your grill. Thanks as always for checking out the videos!
Hello there Dski; This is my first time watching you on youtube especially demonstrating the Weber Summit Charcoal grill I'm amazed of how you made Fried Chicken thighs . Have you done any fried drumsticks on the grill. I'm hoping that you'll make more videos on the Weber Summit Charcoal Grill. Have a Great Day. Timothy Williams
Hi Dski. Great video line always…….I have a WSCG and was wondering the size of your vortex. They have three sizes do you recommend the medium or large?
I recommend the large Sergio for my 24".summit. You may be better served going with the medium I would think for the 22". Thanks as always for checking out the video!
Once the temperature hit 400 degrees, did you close down the lower vents at all? And it looks like you kept the top vents almost all the way open. Is this how you got the temps to stay down at 375? I had a hard time keeping my temps below 400 when I did this with the char baskets (I don't have a Vortex). I had to really choke down the vents to keep it from continuing to climb. Thanks for your videos!
You are correct. I adjusted the bottom/intake dampers to help control the temperature. The vortex performed very well by having the center concentration of heat which browned up all of the chicken evenly. I luckily was able to close the lid and set the intake at about 3/4 open and it maintained the temps. Hope this helps!
I haven’t tried it yet, honestly I didn’t think much about it. It may help cook the chicken even faster. What i worry about is possibly burning the inside edges of the neat as the vortex gets so hot. I’ll try it soon to see what results are achieved. Thanks for checking out the video Ronson!
Tom Lavin Absolutely, you would need to get the vortex insert for the 22” kettle. It will come out exactly the same! Thanks for checking out the video Tom.
"This is going to be amazing folks" I love that cooking confidence
I never knew I needed a vortex accessory until I saw wonderful fried chicken prepared in a Weber!
That's fired chicken, not fried chicken. It is literally impossible to fry chicken on a Weber.
@@NickVincent sure you can fry chicken on a Weber with the vortex and a cast iron skillet. Easy peasy.
I literally just made this!!!!!! I used the spices I had around… Came out so delicious!!!! My family and of course I had to flex and give my neighbors some! Thank You Sir for sharing your knowledge… it made it all the way down to San Antonio Tx… I have Webber Kettle MasterTouch with a Velocity Grill… Works Perfect!!!
Sweet Chris! Glad you enjoyed the recipe. I know the neighbors were in awe!! I know the Master Touch did it’s job! Thanks for sharing.
WOW! Must try this. Fried chicken WITHOUT all the oil. This is a keeper. Keep up the good work. Be Blessed & Be Well.!!!
Thank you! God bless.
That crunch though
Wow!! That is definitely the best fried chicken ever!! I can’t wait to try that!! That’s such a great method for fried chicken it may make this northern guy look like he knows what he is doing!! Thanks for posting!!

I’m really happy to see a recipe without buttermilk. Buttermilk is impossible to find in Canada, so going to try this now with eggs!
@@varians8762 You can make buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 cup of whole milk. Stir then put in fridge about 20 minutes to thicken
Definitely going to give this a try with my Vortex. Never seen anybody fry chicken on a grill. Great idea, great cook. Thanks for sharing.
Mark Brown Thanks Mark!
I just picked up a Weber Master Touch/Vortex and the first thing I made was your recipe! Can't thank you enough! They were AMAZING!
That is so cool Vincenzo! Congrats on the new grill!
I have grill envy with all the grills you have in the background
Awesome cook Bro. I’m going to have to give this a try.
Dski, I gave this video a thumbs up as soon as I saw the title and I don't regret it at all! I have got to try this recipe. Thanks for the video!

Made my own homemade vortex yesterday it worked great. 600 degrees. Wings were done in 20 minutes crispy juicy 😋 delicious

This is a fantastic video. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make it. Chicken looked amazing.
Besides the best fried chicken, it the best chicken grilling I've seen by far. Thanks for the video. It's a must try and I'm stoked for it.
Tried this today! Never would have thought fried chicken on the grill! Results were fantastic (thumb up)
So glad you liked it. Thanks for checking out the video1
Things that make us guys go "hell yeah". Gunna try this soon!
One of the best kettle fried chicken videos I've seen!! 👍🏼
Lismore98 Thanks!
Man I have never heard of fried chicken on a grill. This is awesome! Thanks for this!
That fried Chicken looks amazing. I was going to get a Weber kettle anyway and I think you just convinced me
Definitely a passion bro!! I heard that crunch all the way to south florida brother!!!😋
Curtis Fogleman I know!!! It was crazy! I might cook some more this weekend just for the CRUNCH!!
Great video, had no intention of subscribing to another cooking channel....but your video was done in such a nice way I look forward to seeing more!!
Thank you Scott! Happy New Year and welcome to the channel.
That thumbs up is the seal of approval.
Looks great. For those of us not in the States and can’t get the ingredients you use it’s going to be an interesting experiment!
I love Weber grills I love the Vortex I love fried chicken . you just made my weekend.
That’s awesome!!! Let me know how it comes out!

Gonna give this a try for sure! I've done a lot of wings and thighs on my Weber with the vortex but never tried the batter yet. Great video man!
Thanks Buster. Let me know how it comes out!
Impressive cook. Just bought a summit charcoal grill. Need to try this method.

Man, that looks great! Will try this for sure. New sub here.
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Great video Bro! Love what you did here.
Would this work without the vortex? Have you ever tried? Thx
Absolutely. The key to getting the crispy skin is all around temp control. If you are able to hold temps around 350 to 400 degrees, it doesn’t matter what grill or accessory you use. I will be posting a crispy Cajun wing cook soon on my Weber summit charcoal grill. I achieved the exact same results without using the vortex. Thanks for checking out the video!
I only have the charcoal baskets I wonder if those will work the same if I put them in the center
You would have to test it out. In theory if you can get and maintain temps of 350 to 375, you should be good. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks.
Love my vortex as well. Awesome crunch 👍
I love the arti Flame grill, I can't wait to get mine, it will be 26" disk for welber
Sweet! You’re gonna love that thing! Congrats!

Looks amazing! Is that boneless or bone in thighs?
Bone in. Thanks for checking out the video
Great video. Why the vortex vs using the deflector plate?
Eric Cho Better targeted heat using the vortex. The diffuser plate would have done well but no way to get this type of crust using the diffuser plate.

Hello there Dski; This is my first time watching you on youtube especially demonstrating the Weber Summit Charcoal grill I'm amazed of how you made Fried Chicken thighs . Have you done any fried drumsticks on the grill. I'm hoping that you'll make more videos on the Weber Summit Charcoal Grill. Have a Great Day.
Timothy Williams
Timothy Williams No drumsticks yet but I will do some soon. Thanks for checking out the video.
Is the Summit the same circumference as the traditional Kettle?
The Summit is 24” like many Kamado grills like the Big Green Egg and the Kamado Joe. The kettle grills are 18” 22” 26” and 37”. Hope this helps
@@DskiGrillz it does. thanks
Omg that chicken crunch
Pro tip! You can make your own vortex by cutting the bottom of a stainless mixing bowl!
Now that’s awesome looking fried chicken….yummy
Looks delicious. Thanks

What size vortex is that? I Just ordered a Lg for my kettle as well as the grate with middle fitting.
It’s a large. Thanks for checking out the video.
Have you tried the vortex on the top charcoal grate level and found it better to be on the bottom charcoal grate level?
I haven’t tried it yet, honestly I didn’t think much about it. It may help cook the chicken even faster. What i worry about is possibly burning the inside edges of the neat as the vortex gets so hot. I’ll try it soon to see what results are achieved. Thanks for checking out the video Ronson!
