BBQ Chicken on a Charcoal Grill!

Total Prep time: 20 min
Total Cooking Time: 35 45 minutes

Ingredients:
Many chicken drums, fresh
Oil
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
BBQ Sauce


Directions (using lump charcoal):
Light Charcoal Chimney (let burn for 1015 min)
Place all chicken in a bowl pour oil and spices (salt pepper garlic) over chicken. Mix
Set up grill for indirect cooking
Sear chicken over direct heat for approx 5 minutes flipping attentively until all wings have a slight char
Move to indirect heat
Add small amount of smoking chips
Cover and cook 10 min with top vent 75% open, grill should heat up to about 450+
Open and lightly baste with BBQ sauce, then flip and baste other side
Add small amount of smoking chips (can omit)
Close lid and cook another 10 min, grill should heat up to about 400
Open and lightly baste, then flip and baste other side
Close lid and cook another 10 min grill should heat up to about 350
Check chicken with thermometer, if 165 degrees you can pull chicken
If not, lightly baste, then flip and baste other side
Close lid and cook another 510 min



Notes for next time:
Very good and very moist!
Searing then indirect heat with basting really mellows out the char nicely
Cooking fast and hot with indirect is very effective, meat maintained moisture and cooked thoroughly
Use gloves when mixing the chicken
I would mix less salt with the oil, maybe add more pepper
Use the above instructions to add 2 bastes and be done sooner.
The unbasted chicken was delicious too! Will definitely experiment with some rubs
Place tinfoil underneath chicken in lower grate to catch drippings.
