Barbecued Half Chickens

Made this for dinner last night and it is the way to go to barbecue chickens on the grill. The chicken is first seasoned and roasted in the oven, then finished on the barbecue grill. Makes it very tender and moist with just the right amount of browning and barbecue sauce. Can roast chicken ahead and refrigerate until serving time, then grill. Recipe found on the internet.
