TASTE Summer 2025

3 Prepare your grill for indirect cooking: for 2-burner grills, preheat 1 side to medium and place chicken, skin-side up, on unheated side. For single-burner grills, preheat to low and place chicken directly over flame. 4 Close barbecue lid and cook, flipping chicken every 8 to 10 minutes and rotating around grill to avoid any hotspots; adjust flame as needed to maintain grill temperature around 400 F (200 C). After second flip, start basting chicken with reduced marinade. Cook until a thermometer registers 165 F (74 C) when inserted at thickest point, about 35 minutes. If you want a bit of extra char, move chicken pieces to heated side briefly to allow sugars in marinade to caramelize. 5 Serve with steamed white rice and a cool, crisp cucumber salad.
