    My guess is 3 .... but I've never done it on the BGE. I've done 4 on my Napoleon, and just judging by the diameter, dome ... I'd be surprised if you can fit more than 3 in an XL.  There would be space on the either side of the chickens to cook something else though ... if you need more food.

    Welcome aboard. I'm wondering if you can squeeze four in if you rotate them vertically instead of horizontally.

    As above, welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all, have fun.
    Keep a clamp on your discretionary income as this place can put some serious hurt on things you never knew you needed.
