That is a nice looking bird!!! I am going to give your method a try tomorrow.
Here is another trick for crispy skin on a kamado that I learned from my JN neighbor while stationed in Japan.
After all your prep is done and just before you put the chicken on the grill (now dont get a rope to string me up) boil a pan of water and quickly pour that over the chicken skin. The skin will shrivel up and shrink a bit and turn lighter or translucent. Then breakout a can of PAM or now that Duck Fat is prevalent and spray down the bird. In my Primo XL I cook the bird in the 330° to 350° range. I get a good crispy skin.
or
As you mentioned use the dome assist but use the extend a grids and put the spatched bird closer to the dome in the 400° to 425° range.

Lazy man says skip the blow dryer and try hotter - just for giggles

I'm dreaming of getting that sweaty again.

[RonB]

Good job. I agree - hotter is better for chix.

That chicken never knew what hit it.

That looks like a quick fix. I typically do mine at 375. I picked up a crispy skin tip that holds promise rather than air drying in the frig and coating with baking powder. Blow dry the skin with a hair dryer. So far so good.

That there yardbird's a Slam Dunk 3-pointer, there, Dr. J!

Nice Job, Brother!

[Red Man]

Nice! I learned from using my vortex that the hotter the better for chicken, as long as your cooking indirect.

You rocked it Erik. 👊👊
And I bet you didn’t get nearly as sweaty as if you were rolling around on a mat with another sweaty individual. 😁😂😂😂
