Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium, about 350 degrees F. Grill the bird, pressing it as flat as possible and flipping/arranging every so often so no side gets too charred (at least every 10 minutes).

Total cooking time should be between 3540 minutes.

After the bird reaches an interal temp of 170 degrees F at its thickest point, remove from the grill and cover with foil.

Let the bird rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting so it has time to reabsorb juices.

Serve with your favorite coleslaw, grilled romaine or favorite grilled veggies and Texas toast.
