I love good BBQ chicken. I don't mean heavily sauced chicken. Just good grilled/charcoal flavor (not hickory or mesquite). The chicken often has a charred skin which I don't usually eat but does seem to help keep the chicken moist. I have never been able to recreate this taste. I'm thinking spatchcock and direct would be the chosen methoc? If anyone has some secret they are willing to share I would be very greatful.

I do all my chicken on the egg. (spatchcock - direct) it always comes out melt in your mouth moist. I prefer a good coat of Sweet Baby Ray’s on the outside but not so much as to over do the chicken. Most of the time I cook them at 300 or so until done.
Try a good coating of your favorite rub prior to putting it on and then a coat of BBQ when it’s just about done.
Don’t be stingy with the Seasoned Salt!
For a real treat, pull it from the grill when it’s done and wrap it in some foil with beer and set it back on with the draft and damper closed for a half hour. -
I do like MichiganEgg except 400 and high in the dome. Never turn and cook skin side up direct.
I do leave in fridge overnight uncovered and do not oil.
I like coffee rub or ButtRub and if any sauce will use Bone Sucking at the very end.
I always spatchcock.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
Eggcellent,
This is what I've been doing lately and I prefer it to any other method.

I prefer high heat indirect.450 or so. the fridge rest and cornstarch dusting don't hurt either.
