How to Roast a Whole Chicken on the Grill

[@johnnyitalia418]

Dan is so cute! I love when he has recipes to share. Thanks Dan!

[@mikeelek9713]

This is another great recipe from this channel. I've made this a couple of times, and I've been very happy with the results. The times quoted in this video are pretty much spot on.

[@drbiryani]

For a tastier chicken, follow this video but add various spices aside from salt and pepper. Also add a bunch more wood chips/chunks to the grill.

[@jimmieteaguejr8699]

Thank you so much. I found a new way to make grilled chicken. it's absolutely fabulous.this is my favorite channel. I've learned so much. and I've enlightened my taste buds so much!!!! thanks to all of you. and your wonderful work.

[@alejandroleguizamo7722]

I just made this on a gas grill. It was FANTASTIC. There was just a hint of smoke and the meat was very juicy. Thank you so much for this recipe.

Might I suggest to put a small aluminum foil pan between the coals under the chicken. Easier clean up.

I have never been able to master the fine art of tucking the wing tips under the chicken. It looks so easy in videos. But, I always have to resort to kitchen twine on the wing-end to keep them from flaying out. Looks delicious. Now, I wish I'd opted for a chicken for Memorial day.

Coals over gas for this ANYDAY! Simply the easiest way to do this recipie. I use a smaller barrel BBQ for this instead of a globe BBQ, and can do 3-4 chickens easily, as well as only 1. Using a temp gauge is the only way to go, but make sure the probe is cleaned well between uses'!

Interesting Apparently he used Dry wood chips? I’m curious to try that exactly how he did it! And I appreciate him explaining the temperature at the different points in the cooking process! Good stuff!

[@alejandroleguizamo7722]

I was a bit taken aback by that as well, but it worked great! I did put in about a cup of chips in the packet, to be honest. I used a gas grill and put the packet on the grates that were over one of the active burners.

[@noSimpininmypimpin2361]

Never soak your wood chips

[@Mrsquick]

The foil keeps the chips from burning. It just smokes it.

[@susanvp4685]

Awesome instructions…..can you do this on a gas bbq?

[@alexrwat100]

Hi Dan, you mentioned that you start with 130 degree for 45 minutes. Is it F or C degree ?

[@Stevelemontrudy]

That's gonna be Fahrenheit. 130 degrees Celsius is way way too hot for a chicken.

[@johnbalogna803]

Nice. But you left the oysters on the bottom of the chicken. IMO those are two of the most flavor full and moist parts on that chicken.

[@thepracticingcurmudgeon3645]

agree. also, remove wish bone prior to cooking, makes carving a breeze.

[@mook1972]

Could we get instructions for a gas grill please?

[@paperbackwriter1111]

If you have three burners, get the two outer ones hot enough to get a temperature under the lid similar to how you‘d roast a chicken in the oven and put the chicken in the middle for indirect heat. If you only have two, I guess you need to flip it on the cooler side mid cooking for more even cooking. Dunno how you‘d do a little smoke on a gas grill, you probably know better than me.

[@9mmking601]

I tried this only thing I can add I’d double or triple the wood chips

[@HansMenzi]

I always worry that 20 mins of rest off the grill that it’s too cold…

[@zimmejoc]

Then let it rest 15 minutes. If your store is like mine, you’ll be hard pressed to find a chicken under 5.5 pounds and one of those big birds can rest 20 minutes and not be too cold to enjoy. Where these cooking shows get these 4 pound broilers is beyond me.

[@RabbitsInBlack]

In the Restaurant bizz we just throw it in hot box/alto shamm before serving so oven on low will do.

[@marcress]

Is there a way to do this on a gas grill?

[@-CrampedStyle-]

It should be no different. Fire up the burners on the right and the left, but leave the center off. Put the wood chips on one of the sides and follow the directions as if it were coal. I would turn down the burners so they're medium when you move the chicken directly over them, which may be too hot and may burn the skin.

[@zimmejoc]

Yes, provided your grill has multiple burners. Light one, put the chip packet on it, and follow what Dan did the rest of the way.

[@oddopops1327]

👍👍😊

[@timivers8823]

Remove the wishbone first for super easy carving.

[@Itsweet5533]

Nice. But in future videos, consider the audience. In this case include a 30s cutaway for gas grill directions or explain that it's a charcoal grill in the video title/description

Either this video is fake or that bird is cold AF when they are eating it. No way an uncovered chicken stays warm after 20 minutes. Also, with the breast at 160, I guarantee the drumstick joints are still raw. Without spatchcocking either you dry the breast or get raw brown meat.

*165° F* not "156° F" .. Dyslexia are you trying to make everyone sick by under cooking your chicken?! 🦠🍗

[@paperbackwriter1111]

It‘ll get to 165 through carryover cooling while resting.

[@DJaquithFL]

@@paperbackwriter1111 .. Is cooking and thermodynamics new to you? This video should be taken down, you have to cook chicken till at least 165°.

[@paperbackwriter1111]

@@DJaquithFL chicken needs to reach an internal temp of 165, if you want to be absolutely sure any possible pathogens are killed instantly, yes. If you roast or pan-fry something, especially something with a large mass, the surface and outer area of the meat is way hotter than the center. Because it has a large mass, it retains heat better and heat becomes uniform by traveling from hotter to cooler areas. This can raise a piece of meat‘s temperature by 5-25 degrees fahrenheit, depending on how hot you cooked something and how big your piece of meat is. Something like a chicken of the size in the video will easily get to 165 in the center.

[@nicolew6904]

They generally undercook chicken and pork when I watch on tv. I understand about carryover cooking, but I'm with you on this one.

[@DJaquithFL]

@@paperbackwriter1111 .. They made a mistake the guy has dyslexia or something and reversed his numbers. My son-in-law owns a restaurant you want 156° chicken?? Look up the USDA's recommendation. No this is clearly a bad error that needs to be corrected, people are going to get sick or worse with this misinformation.

Chicken is always better cooked separated. Except for the look there’s no good reason to cook any bird whole.

[@fredmwangaguhunga2057]

The chicken that he carved had darker skin than the one on the grill. Was that the same chicken? Not trying to sound like a tin foil hat, but it looked different.

[@Just2Julz]

@ Sandra H When (or if) the presenter switches the item they’re presenting they would usually announce the change and explain why! The chicken they carved looked obviously darker than the “finished” product on the grill. This is very disingenuous & misleading if the old switch-a-roo was pulled unannounced!
