Grilled 7 dry brined (salt and garlic powder) on the Santa Maria/Argentinian grill over oak splits for a family gathering Saturday. Turned out right tasty!

That is one of my favorite ways to do chickens.

Not to bring up a touchy subject, but are you a single flip or multiple flip person for chickens on on santa maria?
 
Looks like mighty tasty chicken there.
I recently got a Santa Maria grill but haven't cooked whole chicken on it yet. Can you explain why you're cooking over open fire instead of coals from the brassero? Am I missing something?

Actually, I had a mix of coals and open fire - I always intend to use just coals but I always end up with flame too! I usually build my fire too big but moderated myself this time; it's a bit easier to handle the meat when the grates aren't so high due to a lot of heat.

I did keep the brasserro loaded to replenish coals as needed but added splits to the fire as well.
