To prevent the chicken from sticking, brush the grill with oil and place the chicken so that it is not directly over the coals but cooks with the indirect heat. If you place the chicken over the coals, the fat will drip off onto the hot coals as it cooks and cause flames.

Once the chicken is cooked, serve with a fresh garden salad or your favorite sides. I Served this chicken with a dollop of guacamole, grilled peaches, and a salad featuring berries and tomatoes from my garden. You can also serve this chick with ranch beans and Mexican rice.
