BBQ Chicken Breasts on a Weber Kettle

BBQ Chicken Breasts on a Weber Kettle
After writing some other instructables on making BBQ using a Water Smoker, I kept getting the same question "Can I do this using indirect grilling?" The answer is yes, you don't absolutely need a smoker, althoiugh I prefer it. I decided to do an instructable for BBQ Chicken breasts using a small Weber Kettle I usually use for the "hamburger, hot dog" crowd. Before you ask, yes you can use a water smoker to do this instructable.

I like the cinder block idea. Wish I thought of that when my charcoal starter broke.

I like the idea, too, but wonder how you get the hot coals from the block to the grill? A shovel? The Force?

Looks good; but who has 3-4 hours for just four pieces of chicken. How about cranking up the heat for faster cooking?

Anyone who spends an afternoon watching college football like myself, that's who. Once you get the temperature where you want it, you don't need to stand there hawk-eyeing the grill while it works its magic. If you have the time, low and slow is the way to go!

You want fast? Get a gas grill. Other than that there is no better way than slow cooking. Especially when you throw in a few apple wood chunks for BBQ bird.

Make shure you get a chicken (or turkey for that matter), that hasnt been flavor enhanced or injected in any way. This usually contains alot of sodium and brining, although I do brine myself, will add more sodium and can actually dry the meat. This is why I dont usually brine my turkeys.
