Been a BGE owner for roughly 6 months, and have been in pursuit of a simple grilled whole chicken.   Something easy, reliable and fuss-free I can pull off on a week night.

We have eaten a lot of chickens in the last six months.  :s

Have at last settled on a tasty mesquite smoked chicken half as the preferred method, using a combination of indirect and direct at 400 degrees, turning a few times.   I use a Woo2CI and half-moon baking stone to make the two cooking zones.  I start over indirect and finish off over direct, and always finish skin-side down.  Takes about 45 minutes to bring the thigh portion to 185.  The chicken halves come out evenly cooked and juicy in all parts, and the skin is crispy.

I see many more chickens in our future.  =)
