  6. Move the chicken to more indirect heat on the grill, cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F in the thickest part.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest (the internal temperature will continue to rise to 165°F). After resting the chicken can be sliced and served.
