Got some really nice hand cut chicken thighs from Market Street. Boy am I going to miss stopping at that store on way home from work after retiring!

Injected with some butter and left for 3 hours. Dry skin and season.

Fired up grill with about 2/3 chimney. Cooked for 40 minutes. Internal temp was 195. About 30 seconds over coals each side. These where really good. Some of the best done in a while. Really juicy and skin perfectly crispy. Several years ago I forgot about Rice-A-Roni on stove and came out really crispy on bottom. Was so good. I keep trying to duplicate it and get close but just not like it was that time. Corn has been pretty good lately for winter corn.

Thanks for looking.
 
Looks great ... accidental Crispy rice interesting ... as they say, all progress depends on failure 😁

Late Christmas here with a couple friends ... got one a vortex (for her Weber) ... maybe have her try it out on my BGE today or tomorrow.

Thanks Robert. I really like it. I run it lower temp than most. Only about half fill it up.
