Planning for Wings and Spatchcock chicken

lahlooha · February 2017

Hi guys,
Hosting family this weekend, the menu is Chicken wings and Spatchcock chicken.

Problem is, I usually cook wings indirect and Spatchcock direct.

So I was thinking of cooking both direct since I need to cook them at the same time and place the Whole chickens on the lower level and the wings on the raised grill grate...

Or should I raise the Chicken and raise the wings even further?

I could also cook both indirect and then char the whole chickens for a few minutes at the end.

Thoughts?

I have an XL btw and the wings take up the whole grill grate.

You doing wings as the app? Raised direct they should be done in 30ish...then the chicken about 50 give or take.

Or put the wings on the bottom and keep an eye on them.

I would go very raised direct with the wings-flip around every 15 minutes til done (around 45 mins at 350-375 *F on the dome for me (LBGE)). For the chix if needed to cook at the same time I would run direct at the gasket line. Sounds like great eats.
