Roasted Chicken On The Bbqgrill Recipe

Roasted Chicken On The Bbqgrill

From justjakesmom 15 years ago

This is a great way to cook a whole chicken - worry free, and easy. Oh so moist - the secret is brining prior to roasting.

1 5lb chicken (approx.) I like the organic (no hormones, etc.) shopping list
seasoning of your choice, e.g., thyme, rosemary, basil, garlic, red pepper flakes, montreal shopping list
5 cups or more water for brining shopping list
salt or seasoning with salt in it shopping list
You want at least 1/8 cup salt or seasoning w/salt per 4 cups water shopping list
Little olive oil shopping list

Clean giblets out of bird (do whatever you want with them, or throw out)
Fill large bowl (big enough to fit bird in with some room) with water
Add seasonings. I used tonight: Weber's Smokey Mesquite seasoning, red pepper flakes
Immerse bird in water breast side down with seasonings, I like to add some fresh rosemary, or other herbs
Brine in refrigerator for at least 2 hours up to 8 or overnight if you like
Remove from brine, place bird on roaster (see photo) or if you can improvise with a beer can filled with brine placed in a heat proof pan
You can put fresh rosemary or other herb in neck of bird
Preheat grill to 350
Place roaster on indirect heat on grill
Close lid and keep temp at or around 350 for approximately 1 hr, 20 minutes.
Start checking for doneness after 1 hour. bbqs vary
Done when poked at thigh and juices run clear.
Be careful to not overcook. Should never take over 1 1/2 hours.
Enjoy!

I like to slip sage leaves under the breast and skin before grilling or roasting.

OK..here goes with silly questions..but I don't know as I have never done this but it looks and sounds so good and not very hard. Do you slather the baby up with the olive oil before you put it on the grill?? I have a propane grill, will this use up a lot of the propane??? Thanks Justjakesmom.

Are the seasonings added to the brine or on/in the bird? Thank you for these directions. I don't have a "roaster" for the grill...would an open can of beer do? I'm keeping this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
