Ingredients
- 2
- whole 3 lb (1.5 kg) chickens with backbone removed
- 2 tsp
- salt
- 10 mL
- 1/2 tsp
- pepper
- 2 mL
- 1 1/2 cups
- Original Barbecue Sauce

Method
Step 1
Preheat grill to high. Season chickens on both sides with salt and pepper. Place on the grill, bone side down. Turn heat down to medium-low and close the lid. If your grill has a thermometer, it should drop to 350°F (180°C); if it drops below that, adjust the temperature.
Step 2
Cook chickens for 15 min. before turning skin side down. After another 15 min., turn chickens skin side up again and cook 15 min. longer, for a total cooking time of 45 min. This will promote even cooking without burning or drying out the meat.
Step 3
Brush a generous layer of sauce on chicken skin and turn skin side down again for 10 min. Repeat on bone side and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 185°F (85°C) at the thickest part of a breast or thigh. Remove chickens from grill and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
