Quick question. If you baste/mop spatchcocked chicken (350 direct on a raised grill) with a butter sauce while it is cooking will it burn? Would cooking indirect be better?

Thanks.

    you can mop it but you will proabably not get a real chrispy skin.unless you flip it at the end to where the skin is facing the fire then you might bwe able to chrisp it up some... take pictures and let us kow how it turns out

    happy eggin

    Shouldn't burn as long as you don't have any sugar in it. -RP

    I'd definitely do this indirect. You'll get a lot of flare-ups with the butter dripping on the coals which will produce a lot of foul-smelling smoke. I would just use a drip pan under the raised grid and it wouldn't hurt to add plenty of water in the drip pan to keep drippings from smoking.......
