Can We Talk Chicken Pieces?

Tried the Alabama white bbq sauce chicken pieces tonight. I think the sauce turned out like it was supposed to, But the chicken pieces sucked. Spent too long on the grill...about 2 hours to finish and only because I put them over more direct heat. [p]My specific question is: How do you cook pieces: direct or indirect?
If direct, do you cook on raised grid or normal grid surface?[p]Th sauce tonight was intriguing enough for me to do it again but with chicken pieces cooked right...And I didn't cook them right tonight.

    Direct at 350°, flip after first 30 minutes. Check meat temp at 1 hour and it should be done or real close to it (165° for breasts, 180° for all other pieces). Sauce during the last 10 minutes, if you use it. Oh, and I rotate the cooking grid ¼ turn every 15 min. in case there are any hot spots. Pretty much idiot proof, which is a good thing for me. LOL.[p]Jim

    JSlot,
    I do pretty much the same, direct at 325-350, but rearrange the pieces rather than turning the grid. I rarely do anything but thighs now. They are very forgiving.[p]Paul
