I have people tell me all the time you can't fry foods outside, you can't bake, you can't do this or you can't do that. When are these people going to learn that when they tell me I can not do something I am going to be hell bent on proving them wrong?
One of my husband's cousins asked me what I what going to cook for supper tonight. I had already planned on cooking chicken but was thinking of baking it in the oven with rice and cream of chicken soup. Hubby decided at that point to join in the conversation and state that he would like to have some fried chicken so I said okay I would make that and it would give me a chance to cook outside again.
Right away his cousin popped up and said it would be impossible to fry chicken on the little sportsman grill. I told her "Bet me!". LOL Since we were not going to have baked chicken and rice I decided to change the menu to fried chicken, Stovetop chicken stuffing and creamed corn.
When it came time to start cooking I set up my sportsman grill, laid the makings for a fire in it and fired it up. Then I got my two rocket stoves ready for cooking. Once the fire was going good in the grill I placed the oval fryer on top and poured the oil in. When the oil was hot enough I added the floured and seasoned chicken.

Next I started the rocket stoves. When the fire got going good in them I set the pots of water for the stuffing mix and the corn on them.
After I got them going it was time to check the chicken.
As you can see it is starting to brown nicely. :) And you can see where the oil is bubbling.
I placed the lid back on the fryer and in a few minutes I checked it again. It was time to turn it again.

It is getting browner but not quite done yet.
Mean while the corn is nice and hot and the stuffing is done.

Yay the chicken is done. Nice and crispy brown. Anyone want a leg?
I have to admit that I had the fire a little to hot on one end so a couple of pieces of chicken got a little burned as you can see, but not to bad to make it inedible.
I sent the same pictures you see here to the cousin and she had to admit that I can fry chicken outside on the grill. I just love proving some one wrong when they say I can not do something. LOL
Now all I have to do is figure out a way to bake outside and I will be all set to cook anything I want to when STHF. And I do have a few ideas on how I am going to bake just have to work out the kinks before I show you. :)
