Call the Wilkes County Extention office. They have the recipe and instructions broken down by the number of chickens you want to cook.

well the way we cook it is it's about 3ft above the charcoal and we keep the sauce poured on it all the time every 5 min of soo but we cook it about 25min each side for about 2 to 2 1/2 til the leg bone will turn out of the half chicken we cook 25 halfs at a time!!

Anyone have experience grilling chicken like fire departments? Any tips?
