Plan on grilling a whole chicken tonight on my gasser. Not going to have time to fire up the WSM. Anyway, I made the brine last night and plan on putting the chicken in it to bathe for the day after I get this typed out. I'll spatchcock it as that seems to be the best way to get the meat to cook evenly.
But my question is should I put it over direct or indirect heat? I've always grilled breasts over direct heat but I've never done a whole chicken. My temp will be around 325-350. Should I put it bone down first? Do I need to flip it during the cook?
Thanks guys!
