Let Jerked Chain® work overnight so the heat penetrates straight through to the bone when you hit the grill

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1 whole chicken, butchered into quarters
  • 3 Tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt per pound of chicken
  • 4 Tablespoons Casa M Spice Co® Jerked Chain®

Method

  1. 01

    Season chicken with oil, salt, and Jerked Chain

    8 min

    Best if done the night before; minimum a few hours ahead.

  2. 02

    Refrigerate seasoned chicken until ready to grill

    4h m

    Minimum time shown; can go up to 24 hours.

  3. 03

    Preheat grill to 250-300°F

    15 min

    Get that grill steady at 250-300°F—you're aiming for indirect heat that'll cook the chicken gently without charring the skin before the meat's done inside.

  4. 04

    Let chicken come to room temperature

    20 min

    Can overlap with grill preheat.

  5. 05

    Grill chicken bone-side down to 130°F internal

    25 min

    Check temp at 10 min intervals; flip each piece at 130°F.

  6. 06

    Flip and grill skin-side down at 350°F to 155°F

    15 min

    Turn heat up after flipping to crisp skin.

  7. 07

    Rest chicken on platter for 10 minutes

    10 min

    Let the chicken come up to room temperature so it cooks even from edge to center; you should be able to touch the thickest part of the thigh and feel warmth, not cold.

From Mike's Notebook

01

Oil the chicken first, then salt and spice — oil helps the seasonings adhere and penetrate evenly.

02

Flip at 130°F internal temp, not by time — carryover cooking finishes the first side while skin crisps.

03

Room temperature chicken cooks through evenly; cold spots won't crisp properly when you turn up the heat.
