Indirect Cooking Method for Gas Barbrcues with Two Burners: Place a shallow metal or foil pan (not necessary to add water) under one side of grill to catch drippings. Preheat both sides of barbecue on high setting. Tie wings and legs of chicken with string; brush lightly with oil. Place chicken breast-side down on hot grill and cook for two minutes. Turn chicken on its side and grill for two minutes. (A long-handled spoon inserted in cavity makes it easy to turn). Turn on back and grill for two minutes; continue to grill chicken on other side for two minutes until browned all over. Place chicken, breast-side up, on the side of barbecue with drip pan underneath; turn off burner on that side. Brush liberally with sauce and roast chicken with lid down for about 90 minutes, brushing occasionally with sauce, until chicken is done. (Indirect heat from other side of barbecue will cook the chicken). This method also works well with beef, pork, or lamb roasts.
Cooking Method for Charcoal Barbecue with a Lid: Move the hot coals to the sides of barbecue and place a drip pan in centre. Place chicken or roast on grill with drip pan directly underneath. Cook with lid down and use a meat thermometer to gauge when foods are cooked.
