- Place chicken on prepared grill and proceed as follows:.
- For Barbecue with Charcoal: When coals are ready, spread them around the edge of the firebox (24" round) and keep a squirt bottle near the fire to put out flames.
- Turn the chicken often and don't let it burn.
- Breasts take about 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife).
- Do not close the lid on the barbecue.
- For Gas Barbecue (since you cannot maintain a hot fire without closing lid): Place prepared chicken onto hot grill.
- Cover barbecue with lid, open any vents, and cook approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife); turning several times during barbecuing.
