Prepare the disco setup with the burner and disco top piece; ensure everything is clean before cooking.

Fill the disco with oil just below the full line to allow the chicken to rest without excess oil.

Heat the oil until it reaches a boiling point; use a piece of onion to coat the oil and season the disco.

Slice the chicken down to the bone to ensure juices are released; season with a light sprinkle of table salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic.

Prepare the potatoes by slicing them and soaking them in cold water with salt and a splash of lemon to prevent browning.

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the disco; look for a nice brown color and ensure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.

After browning the chicken, set it aside and add the prepared potatoes to the same oil to crisp them up.

For cleanup, dump the used oil into a container, add water, and let it soak to clean up easily.
