Chicken on the grill

[ollie]

What are your go-to recipes for cooking chicken on the grill? I am completely uninspired with this bird and am looking for ideas.

My favortie way to cook a chicken is definitely a beer can chicken.

lots of delicious ways to do amazing kebabs. i think that's my favourite way.

We usually marinate boneless breasts in olive oil, lemon juice, parsely flakes and tons of garlic.

Tonight it will be some jerk seasoning that's been in the cupboard for couple of years!

Edit to add: It turned to be really tasty! mmmm

For pieces (legs and breast)

Marinade:olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper

2-4 hours in that marinade and then I do a quick direct grill and then move the meat off of the heat and cover the grill for indirect roasting. About 40 minutes later, should have meat in the 165-170 range for tender yumminess.

I just did a whole chicken based on a Rick Bayless recipe and it was STELLAR! It was an oven roast, but I could have done it on the barbecue too.

we do thighs on the top rack, turning and dunking in a beered- or wined-down bbq sauce (+chunks of garlic, herbs, chives and smoked paprika) every few minutes for about 35-40 minutes

wings a close second.

love doing wings too, top rack with a dry rub then into a tupperware thingy of sauce afterward, shake that shite up and warm briefly in the oven

Call me wierd..call me what you want...

When I've got chicken legs (thighs and drums attached) I like to over cook them.

Something about the dryish dark meat.

Had some incredible grilled chicken for lunch today. There's a new African restaurant on St. Joseph Blvd in Hull that specializes in wood burning grill. I'm guessing it's very similar to Yre's on Charlotte (now closed).

Very worth checking out if you're in the area... Poulet DG. It's on St. Joseph close to Montclair Blvd.

There is a caterer in Spencerville who specializes in doing big events where he digs a pit bbq and rotisserates the chickens over it. He has this vinegar and pepper based sauce that is the shit.

My family buys it in 4L jugs. I usually get one as part of my Christmas gifts every year. It is the best marinade and basting sauce ever!

This looks like something simple to get me going...

i've always thought that it'd be great to own a vertical broiler and stack marinated chickens like you see at the schwarama shops. Though I don't know who would eat all the chicken if I did that. Block party?
