For the chicken
- 4 large chicken pieces I prefer bone-in, skin-on thighs
- vegetable oil for brushing at the end of cooking
For the marinade
Combine all ingredients.
Place chicken in a large resealable container or bag.
Add the marinade. Seal and shake to coat.
Refrigerate overnight, turning once or twice.
For the chicken
Load up your Vortex full of charcoal and light.
Once fully lit, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess.
Coat pieces thoroughly in the dredge.
Transfer chicken to around the Vortex and close the lid, keeping the top vent open.
Cook for 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 F. Turn the lid 90 degrees every 15 minutes of cook time if desired.
Lightly brush the chicken with oil and continue cooking another 5 minutes.
