am having a cookout and would like to fix some good chicken and am looking for some recommendations. I will be cooking for a fairly large number and am trying to decide if it is possible for me to cook it the night before and it still be good. Here is what I had in mind. I like the Bumgarner BBQ sauce and thought about letting it soak all day in the sauce(IT WILL BE A WASTE OF SAUCE), cook it on the grill that night and put it in a cooler lined with foil, soaking in more sauce. Would that work?( NO SALMONELLA CAN GROW IN WARM CHICKEN) Would the cooler keep it hot/warm until the next day around midday? ( IT WILL KEEP IT WARM FOR A HOUR OR SO ,DON'T CHANCE ANY LONGER)Giving me some advice you yummy cookers.
Brine overnight in a cooler with ice and salt water,onion, and garlic powder can be added too for more flavor.Or rub with a rub and store in refrigerator.
Cook the day you are serving basting as you cook with some basting sauce.
DO NOT UNDERCOOK ,check temp wit a thermometer till at least 180º
Add BBQ sauce the last 30 minutes of cooking ,you can add more when you put in cooler.
(Keep cooler closed at all times)
Serve in a couple of hours.

Brine it overnight....it will be tender, wont dry out as much while it's cooking....use several containers for the brining (salt and water )...put in a big cooler with ice overnight...don't put the sauce on until its almost done.

This is just my opinion. But chicken is one meat you don't want to play around with. Keep in mind food poision is possible. I personally wouldn't want to eat meat, that has been left in a dry cooler all night and eat the next day. Why not loose a few hours of sleep and get up earlier, start cooking. It will be fresh and still hot.

If your cooking it the nite before, please don't overcook it, take it off early because it will still cook after you take it off the grill, if you cook it done before taking it off, it will keep cooking after taking it off and be dry the next day.
