Question:
What is your favorite method for barbecuing chicken?

Choices:
Whole body chicken
Butterflied
Halves
Quarters (breast+wing, thigh+drumstick)
Entire chicken in individual pieces (2 wings, 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks)
All pieces of the same type (e.g. all thighs or all boneless breasts)

 

Never thought about it really--till now. My favorite method is all thighs (so I voted that way since that was the question) because I prefer them. But I do probably 90% whole chicken cooks.

Whole chicken on the rotisserie is my favorite way to go. Next would be legs and thighs.

Q'n, Golf'n & Grill'n.... too many choices!

Hind quarters, which falls into 2 catagories so I didn't vote.

Doing pieces seems to offer more control,
so the breasts and wings are not dried out
while waiting for the thighs and drums to
reach proper temps.

Whole, trussed and either done on the rotisserie or on the grill, both using the Performer. My favorite preps involve Weber Grill Creations Chipotle or Mesquite marinades, and using their Kickin' Chicken after lightly brushing the bird with a mustard/olive oil emulsion.

All these years i've been doing this, and I never did a beer canned chicken. I do like to get canned by beer though.

Beer can chicken: so easy, yet so tasty, yet so hilarious!

I smoke whole & thighs! The last few smokes I've done Thighs!

halves, as that is the way of the cookoffs here(TX), always a practice run when cooking at home that way
