How long do you BBQ a 4lb chicken on charcoal BBQ?
You'll want to cook a 4lb chicken on a charcoal BBQ for about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
* Temperature: Aim for a temperature of around 350-375°F (175-190°C).
* Cooking Time: This will vary based on the size and shape of the chicken, as well as the heat of your grill. Start checking for doneness after 1 hour and 30 minutes.
* Doneness: The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh, without touching bone.
Important Tips:
* Indirect Heat: Cook the chicken over indirect heat, meaning it's not directly over the hot coals.
* Smoke: Add wood chips (like hickory, apple, or cherry) to your coals for extra flavor. Soak the chips in water for 30 minutes before adding them to the grill.
* Basting: Baste the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
* Rest: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
For the best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Enjoy your delicious BBQ chicken!
