How do you BBQ Chicken?

[BDawg]

Every time I try, the BBQ sauce burns to carbon on top of the chicken. I've tried covering the chicken with foil, but then the sauce doesn't bake on, it just stays wet.

What's the secret?

You want to put the sauce on towards the end, at least that's what I do. Works for me

How long do you cook with the sauce on?

Not to be funny, but till it's done. I roast the chicken normally, then when it is almost done (I use a Polder probe thermometer to tell me when that is) I reduce the heat to about 300 F. until it looks ok

Stick a beer can in chicken (with some beer in it...half can is fine), cover chicken until almost done, then broil to get good skin texture and color. Meanwhilst the meat remains firm and juicy....
