How to Create Indirect Heat:

Here’s a play by play from Neil Gallagher about how he accomplishes indirect heat for this recipe:

“I did indirect at about 300 for an hour…that cooked them through. I did this by using a Weber Kettle and foiling a 1/3 of the top Grill Grate and “waterfalling” the foil down between the gaps in the grate, creating a damper.  

I then folded 3 inches of the foil that was touching the bottom of the Kettle toward the wall of the kettle. I placed the charcoal on top of the foil securing it. This provided true indirect heat.  

I put the chicken on the grill and placed the temperature probe side of the lid over the chicken. 

When they were done cooking thru, I pulled out the foil, and dumped in another chimney of charcoal.

For a time saver, or for those less experienced with a grill, This can also be achieved by oven roasting the chicken, then grilling to crisp the exterior.”
