Been loving birds on the BGE latley. Mostly I process full birds. Spatchcocking. Halves. Wondering if I might try quarters next? And advantage or ideas out there on doing quarters? I'm sure it is a moot point. Just curious if there might be a not so obvious advantage to quarters vs halves.

    I've never been a quarters fan. The only advantage I can think of cooking quarters is that you may end up with more even cooking considering the sizes of each part of the chicken.

    I usually do spatched but last night I just cut it into pieces. Two breasts, two wings, two thighs, two drums, one heart, two gizzards, the neck and the back. I did it for a couple of reasons. It was getting late so it would cook faster. I wanted to teach my daughter how to cut one up and I knew I was going to sauce it. Another advantage of pieces is the ability to move them as needed due to hot spots and the size of the piece.
