Elaine's Famous Barbecued Chicken

This is the chicken ready to go on the BBQ. Place the chicken directly on the grill (no pan).


This recipe is from my friend Elaine in Naples, FL.
Guaranteed to be better than buying a cooked "cook" from Publix!
Super easy as it doesn't need a lot of time in preparation and cooks in one hour!

Ingredients:

1 4.5 - 5 lb Organic whole chicken
1 TBS olive oil
1 TBS butter
2 tsp seasoning, lemon pepper or your favorite chicken seasoning
1 apple, cored and cut in quarters
1/2 lemon, cut in 2 quarters

Directions:

Heat the barbecue to 400F, using all burners.
Turn one side off.
Cut up the apple and lemon and put the pieces inside the cavity. Tie the legs with string to hold in place. Rub the oil and butter over the chicken and sprinkle with the seasoning all over.
Place the chicken, breast side up, directly on the grill,  on the side where the burners are off.
Close the lid.
In 30 minutes, turn the chicken over. Close the lid.
Check the temperature using an instant read thermometer. It should be about 145-150F in the thickest part of the breast.
Remove the chicken and let it rest covered with tinfoil for 10 minutes.
Slice and serve.
