Chicken (sometimes called “yard bird” in grilling and smoking circles) is the dish grill jockeys love and hate. They love it because there’s nothing like grilling to crisp the skin, smoke the meat, and turn out a chicken that’s tender and juicy.
They hate it because all too often, the skin turns out flabby or scorched, the meat is undercooked near the bone, and the flames from the dripping fat cause trouble almost the moment you put the bird on the grill. Well, if you have encountered these pitfalls, here’s a grilled chicken that’s guaranteed foolproof. In fact, you couldn’t burn it if you tried.
