Ingredients

  • 1 whole fryer chicken
  • canola oil
  • salt
  • BBQ sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean and rinse whole chicken. Using kitchen shears or a very sharp knife, cut out the backbone of the chicken. Open the whole chicken up and cut a little notch in the breastbone to help it lay flat.
  2. Brush the whole bird with some canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Place chicken on hot grill, skin side down. {I used a charcoal grill with all my hot coals on one side so I could have a hot side and a cool side, just incase my bird was cooking too quickly or not quick enough.}
  3. Flip chicken over once skin has browned and brush with bbq sauce. Continue cooking on the other side until meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  4. Remove from grill and cover with foil to rest 10 minutes. Cut and serve.
