Grilled and smoked chicken halves

smoking shawn86 · Nov 27, 2012

my chicken when on at 6:00.I took some pics on how to halve a whole chicken,for those of use that may not know how

start by cutting down between the breasts,once you have the breasts separated.place the tip of your knife into the back bone give it a couple of taps and continue your way down until you have your chicken separated

I went with a simple salt and pepper.I wanted my barbecue sauce to do the speaking,I think this is my forth batch.Each one I made got a little better I even got the wife's approval.She is my toughest
critic in a positive way

After an hour of cooking,I made a basting sauce form some barbeque sauce,apple cider vinegar,oil and a little water.I basted my chicken every 20min or so.I cooked them for about 2 hours,for the last 10min I applied the barbeque sauce that I made.When i went to pull them off the grill I could hardly keep them together.

Hope you enjoy the next couple of pics

I just love chicken halves and your post make me so hungry and i have to eat these at now..so i am going to arrange one for me.

I love cooking chicken this way, it make it easier to flip on the grill.less time I have to flip,the less my arms burn if you know what I mean.Plus I'm a breast man, it seems to keep the breast real moist this way

My wife wants her chicken DONE. That means atleast 175 to 180º. Excellent job, they look great.
