i've only ever spatchcock-cocked chicken before. In an effort to shop from my freezer, tonight I'll be egging chicken parts (legs, thighs. Breasts, etc.) I know breasts will need less time. Other than that, any recommendations? Seasonings? Sauces? Techniques? My boys love the drumsticks but aren't big on spice. Me? I love finding out new ways to deliciousness. :)

    It's probably too late to brine.  Sometimes I like an easy marinade of Italian dressing.  Once cooked you can either add a bbq sauce or just eat right off the grill.  Good luck!!

    Breasts cook to the lowest temp to be "done" but when the parts are cooked separately, they don't always cook the fastest because they tend to be the biggest pieces....

    If you are looking for a different sauce/glaze, try a 50/50 mixture of your favorite BBQ sauce with a raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing.

    Sandy, a little late here, but maybe for next time. I spatch whole chickens at 400 raised direct. Same for parts. Coffee rub is great. So is this... http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1166301/wow-chicken/p1 I rarely use sauces so not much help there. SBR Chipotle is pretty good.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
