First,
easy brine is 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of kosher salt, 1 cup of sugar and 2 bay leaves.
Whole chickens I would brine over night.
Yardbird is pretty salty, if you brine I personally would not use it.
325 is probably a good temp, remember the skin won't get crispy like when you grill chicken and most likely will be peeled off before anyone eats.
Make sure you rub UNDER the skin as well as on top.

Good luck

thanks scott

I'll try the brine, should i brine the chickens whole or would you brine them after you cut them ?
i wanted to put some other stuff on the pit beside the chickens and would not like to cook them at 325 if i don't have too would 250-275 be okay

ScottWOW Scott,

Your brine would put me in the hospital for 2 weeks, I just rince my birds, lather them with a wet rub of garlic cloves, basil, sage, poultry seasoning, and 1/8th teaspoon of kosher salt.

Bryan, Good luck sir.

Derek;
DONT DRINK THE BRINE!

Bryan,
I'd cut them that way it doesnt take up so much room, they will lay flat in your container and take alot less brine to cover.
Make sure you rinse the chicken really good after you take it out of the brine.

I NEED SOME HELP WITH BBQ SAUCE ANY 1 OUT THERE HAVE SOME THING FOR CHICKEN & RIBS REALLY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SOMTHINGTry to find White bbq Sauce for the chicken, And if you have a Mejiers store, They got an orginal Kanasus city BBQ sauce that looks really good,

I've got one I've devoloped for the comnps, I really don't want to give out the recipe for it until Novemeber. This new BBQ sauce took me 2 whole weeks of playing with peppers.

Oh yes, here a semi wet rub for the chicken,

4 - 6 fresh basil leafs, 4-8 cloves of minced garlic, Salt, Fresh pepper corn Grinder, Sage, Poultry seasioning.

Cut the Bail in to minced portions, mix the garlic, salt, pepper corns, sage, poultry seasoning, together then spread everywhere on the spatch **** cicken, also get under the skin.

after that's done, go ahead and give the chicken a good ammount of EEVO, Should look like this when it done, http://drp-photography.smugmug.com/Food/SpatchChicken-Rib-Eye/IMG6663CR2/902437728_xr9US-L.jpgand this should be like this when it comes out. http://drp-photography.smugmug.com/Food/SpatchChicken-Rib-Eye/IMG6672CR2/902634986_PssFK-L.jpg
