Pasture Prime Half chickens work beautifully with this method.

• Use indirect high heat on your grill (bank coals for charcoal or leave 1-2 burners off for gas)
• Rub chicken halves with oil & salt & pepper or use Uncle Bob’s BBQ Sauce
• Wings should be tucked under breast
• Chicken should be placed skin side down with brick on top, covered until crisp & golden approximately 20-30 min
• After removing bricks, turn chicken with tongs, skin side up and replace brick
• Continue cooking until your thermometer registers 160-165, about 20-25 minutes more. Let rest before serving.
