  • 2 062 LGCM Ultimate Poultry Seasoning (or your favorite poultry seasoning)
  • 454

Directions

  2. Heat a grill to medium high (400ºF) heat and set up for indirect cooking with heat on only one side of the grill. Place the chicken on the unheated side of the grill with the skin up. Cook for 30 minutes.

  3. After 30 minutes, flip the chicken so that the skin is facing down and keep it over indirect heat. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. If the skin becomes crispy before the temperature reaches 165ºF, flip the chicken back over to skin side up and continue cooking until the bird reaches 165ºF.

  4. Once done cooking, remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before carving. Carve into pieces and enjoy!
