3The Cook

- When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Place the chicken pieces on the grill directly over the coals and cook for about 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin starts to crisp and darken.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to the cooler side of the grill, and let them cook for 15–20 minutes more, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F on a digital meat thermometer, and is no longer pink inside.
- Serve hot with barbecue sauce or Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing on the side.
