Amish Fried Chicken using the Vortex
Amish fried chicken has that great down-home, grandma-made-it flavor. It's all about the seasoning... and well, a little bit of butter too.

Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 8 pieces chicken I prefer bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Instructions
- Load up your Vortex with charcoal and light them while preparing the chicken.
- Add oil to a small skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and belt. Stir well. Remove from heat.
- Combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic salt and marjoram in a large resealable bag or a bowl.
- Pour half of the oil and butter mixture into a small bowl. Brush onto all sides of the chicken.
- Working in batches, transfer the chicken to the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake to coat, or dredge well in the bowl. Remove to a plate and finish coating the remaining pieces.
- Transfer chicken to around the Vortex (now that the coals are ashed over). Close the grill lid and cook 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches 160 F. Rotate the lid 90 degrees every 15 minutes while cooking.
- Brush (using a different brush than the one you used on the raw chicken) the reserved oil and butter mixture over the tops of the chicken and cook another 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 F and the skin is crispy.
- Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
