BBQ - Chicken parts

Grilling up chicken parts are easy, tasty and great!

What's your favorite chicken part, legs, thighs, wings or breast?  They're all good to me and if done right they'll be good to you!

Wash the chicken pieces thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.

You can marinade the parts first or not or you can brine the parts first or not, you decide.

If you aren't marinading or brining, lightly coat with olive oil, then sprinkle seasoning salt and pepper all over the chicken parts.

I prefer indirect grilling, the coals on 1 side of the grill the meat on the other.  Make sure your grill grates are oiled with Pam or vegetable oil so the chicken won't stick.  Make sure your fire is at about medium heat.

Grill until chicken is browned and crisp and completely cooked through

Grill the wings about 20 minutes 
Grill the chicken breasts for about 35 minutes
Grill the thighs and drumsticks for 25 minutes
The last 10 minutes add sauce if you like
The chicken should register 165 degrees when done

As the chicken finishes cooking, remove to a warm clean plate.  Cover with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy yourself and don't forget to check our the archives on the right!
