Story

You can buy whole chickens and split them if your grocery doesn't sell halves. Just take a pair of meat scissors and cut along the breastbone and then the bottom. It will take a bit of effort but the scisoors will go through the bone.

  • Chicken Halves
  • BBQ Rub
  • Olive Oil
  • BBQ Sauce (Optional)

  1. Prep grill to cook at 375° F.
  2. Lightly coat the chicken in Olive Oil and then cover the chicken in the BBQ rub.

  4. Flip the chicken over and grill skin side down for 15 minutes.
