4th of July Barbecued chicken
Instructions:
- Rinse the chickens inside and out under cold water, and pat dry. Truss the legs with kitchen twine, and set aside.
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill. If using a charcoal grill, arrange the hot coals around the inside edge of grill. Arrange the chickens, breast sides up, in a row across the center. If using a gas grill, cook the chickens over medium heat until brown on all sides, rotating every 5 to 7 minutes; cover the grill as needed to maintain heat.
- Baste the chickens with barbecue sauce. Continue cooking, basting frequently, until an instantread thermometer registers 170ï‚°F in the breast and 180ï‚°ï€ F in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone), about 1 hour. If the chickens brown too quickly before they are cooked through, transfer to baking pans and finish in a 350ï‚°F oven.
