    Rayddd,
    Cooked mine at 325 degrees for 20 minutes per pound. Use whatever rub you like but add olive oil after you do the dry rub so that the skin will crisp up nicely. I stuck a disposable sensor in it at the last just to be sure. Cooked it on a rack over a drip pan.

    Rayddd, I do mine indirect - on a rack in a foil covered pan - at about 350 looking for a breast temp of about 170. Usually takes about 1 1/2 hours +/- 15 minutes. I spray with a little olive oil before cooking to get better browning. If you have not tried it, try brining although just a nice rub is wonderful.

    Rayddd,[p]Yes, like the others have said, indirect over a drip pan. I did the last bunch at 325 and used a Polder thermometer to tell me when they were done. I think I did them to 175. Pick the temp you feel is appropriate. I sprinkle Montreal Steak seasoning on them with some oil. Yumm. I was the hit at the Appalachian St. Univ. Student Ambassador Parent's Weekend last year. My daughter even asked me to do 2 more breasts to take back to college for her friends who complained that they didn't get any at the Parent's Weekend dinner. (I'll bet you are glad I told you all that, aren't you?)[p]TNW
