er wat. Well cooked meat does not require seasoning beyond salt.

Also, just don't eat the white meat if people are gonna overcook it. The rest will still be ok.

Anon tried. Let's be positive for him guys.

when cooking meat - time & temp is everything.

If I was cooking a whole bird on the grill I would use a vertical holder and maybe even go indirect flame.

a thermometer is your friend, just looking at the coals doesn't really tell you the temp, which is really important for items that need to cook for 30 minutes plus.

Well fug. Didn't know that until I bit into it.
I even put some barbecue sauce mixed with some pepper, barbecue spices, and pepper with it and rubbed it over the chicken.
If I had just made it medium rare/medium well done it would of turned out good.
I am so ashamed of my self next time i'll do research before experimenting.

*mixed with some cayenne pepper

>Well-done means dry and charred

Thanks anon i'll keep this in mind. Again i'm still learning but I think i'll be a pretty good cook one day.
Its a really fun hobby for me and a nice break from looking at my screen all day/working in kroger.

what's "well done chicken"? you mean cooked chicken?

You can substitute a huge amount of experience for an instant read digital thermometer, to cook meat to perfection.

Absolutely true... Although, understanding temperature control is super important. If that's actually OP's bird on that grill then he/she needs to learn to use zones and account for the weight of the bird.
