Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the chicken halves under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken halves, ensuring they are well coated.

Grill the Chicken

Place the chicken halves skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and browned.

Add BBQ Sauce

Flip the chicken halves over and brush generously with BBQ sauce. Continue grilling for another 15-20 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce as desired, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Rest and Serve

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your BBQ half chicken!
