I have roasted chicken in the SRG but has anyone ever cooked a whole cut up chicken on the grill of the SRG. That's what I want to do as I don't really like the basket system of the SRG, It always comes apart on me and food falls on the floor and I burn my paws :)

Hate those burned paws!

Does anyone have a good seasoning for burnt paws? ::)

Keymaster, You can cook anything you want on the grill of the SRG and it will come out great. As a matter of fact, 90% or better of my grilling is done there. It does a great steak. Try the reverse sear technique on a steak using the SRG. It works great doing that also. Dee

Thanks Dee, would you recommend the low setting for cooking on the grill for chicken or High ?

Ive had trouble overcooking my steaks on the SRG,about got it right.HOWEVER,ive been cooking chicken parts on the grill and using the grill grates and I have to say,on high it takes me about 25-30 minutes to cook thighs,and man alive what a juicy tasty bird.I do skin side up first,then skin down and get a crispy skin that doesnt pull off.SRG grill alone cook a little faster in my experience,grill grates really good for keeping the skin on.They just pop right off the grills.
Last batch we used WOW and mrs says.....you be sure to order more of that and I have a full bottle yet.SRG and chicken,CRAZY GOOD! Thanks all for turning us on to the SRG,its my go to/when we need it now cooker as its fast and always ready to just fire up,doesnt need the prep times the awesome PBC does.

I do still like my SRG for wings - best ever... But didn't use it for much else. Then started using my wok - oh my I can get it screaming hot... love it for stir fry... Sorry, can't find the unicorn pictures anymore...

I do my chickens (and most everything else) on top of the SRG, I start skin down for 3-5 minutes then flip to back side till it's almost done then back skin down for a few minutes to finish. Always ends up moist and fully cooked with crispy but unburned skin.

Yes,isnt that amazing???? I had nice grill line patterns on em,soooo dang good!Mine read about 170-180 and as you say,MOIST.Crazy!
Looks like I need to add wings to the srg,any wing tips (LOL,not the shoes Ralph :D) we should know? Dry or sauced?

I do all my cooking on the SRG on high. I like to keep things simple. Dee

I usually cook my chicken, whole or pieces, with the lid down on high. But I use a mesh lid, so the solid lid is open, with the mesh lid on with a high setting. I always have used the baskets, etc. and my chicken comes out good. I want to try solid lid down, on high, with a spatchcocked chicken on the top SRG grate. I wondered if the chicken would cook with too high heat this way, and the chicken would burn? It looks like that is not the experience with others. What do you think?

I have done leg quarters using my method with no issues so I would think you would be good with a spatchcocked bird. Just remember when choosing a rub that the SRG does tend to burn sugars.

I take the lazy way - straight from the fridge or freezer, put them on the racks in the basket (I can get a family pack per batch.) SRG on high - then use a mesh lid. Usually 45 minutes to an hour - they are ready. Then I make a couple different sauces and toss them in whichever sauce my family or friends want. Must be good because they keep coming back for more. :)

Cookie, I cook with the lid down, but you have to watch it because as you surmise it does get hot under there. I've burnt more than my share of taters by not keeping an eye on 'em. One time I cooked some potatoes in a basket with the grate on and the lid down...don't ask me why 'cause I ain't got no clue...and they were burnt to a crisp. Made a hunk of charcoal look medium rare and juicy.

Makes a schmuck a chicken pro.These were done on high,lid down, over 30 minutes,flipped twice,then a third time for 5 more minutes to crisp em up.

I see I'm late to the party on this one. Spuds nailed it!
Although, I prefer to cook whole bird in the chamber I have cook parts like Spuds and with great result, I just like whole bird better.
Now, I cook on high to get grill marks on both sides then turn unit down to low to finish.
Glad to see Spuds using GrillGrates on the SRG ;)

I suspect that my problem is sugar. I used seasoning salt and Tee's Mo Rockin Rub. I see from the ingredients that it contains sugar. I like the lid down method with grate on the SRG as you can get better skin crisping.

Sugar has always been an issue with Big Easy's. Now if you cooked high to get marks then back the heat down to finish then I think you would be ok, Only draw back is the skin not being as crispy this way

Going to have to try a spatchcock cook.LOL,use those grill grates anywhere I can. ;)
Mrs really impressed with SRG,she so wanted a gas grill. :)
