Title: Crispy, crunchy oil-less and perfectly fried chicken
Post by: Albert Rivera on June 16, 2013, 11:19:11 PM

OK! Learned something new!

I had previously read but it did not register:

If chicken is allowed to completely air dry in the fridge prior to cooking, you will get crispy, crispy, crispy fried chicken if you cook it in the SRG.

I could not get over it... it was crunchy!

I discovered this quite by accident: I purchased 14 chicken thighs to smoke and saved 3 of them to grill later in the week.

They stayed in the fridge for 3 days covered with saran wrap after covering in my favorite rub.

All I did was take out of fridge and place in SRG on high with lid closed.

Color was beautiful and skin was crispy and crunch.

Albert,  Like you, it takes me getting me multiple raps on the head before something sinks in.  Dee
