YOU MUST CONTACT YOUR LOCAL HOME ASSOCIATION, BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS, OR AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY PERMITS, MISSION OR INFORMATION ON ANY  INSTALLATION RESTRICTIONS, SUCH AS ANY GRILL BEING INSTALLED ON A COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE, INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS OR EVEN ABILITY TO USE, IN YOUR AREA.

1. A minimum clearance of 457 mm (18 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 457 mm (18 inches) from the  back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on  combustible floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This  appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
   SHOULD A GREASE FIRE OCCUR, TURN THE GRILL OFF AND LEAVE THE LID CLOSED UNTIL THE FIRE IS OUT. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE CONNECTED OUTLET. DO NOT THROW WATER ON THE  UNIT. DO NOT TRY TO SMOTHER THE FIRE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE ON-SITE USE OF AN ALL-CLASS (CLASS ABC) APPROVED FIRE EXTINGUISHER. IF AN UNCONTROLLED FIRE DOES OCCUR, CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
   OVERFIRING WARNING! IF FOR ANY REASON YOUR ELECTRIC IGNITER FAILS OR YOUR GRILLS FLAME DIES OUT DURING A COOK, CHECK THE GRILL’S BURN AREA TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO UNBURNED  PELLETS IN THE BURN GRATE BEFORE RESTARTING. STARTING THE GRILL WITH PELLETS IN THE BURN AREA CAN CAUSE OVERFIRING AND POSSIBLY AN UNCONTROLLED FLAME.

2. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water source.

3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage around the fan intake, chimney, or rear barrel exhaust holes. Clean before use. Regular care and  maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that water does not get into the hopper. When wet or  exposed to high humidity, wood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.
   DO NOT MOVE YOUR GRILL WHILE IN USE OR WHILE THE GRILL IS HOT. ENSURE THE FIRE IS COMPLETELY OUT AND THAT THE GRILL IS COMPLETELY COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE MOVING.

4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the barbecue.

5. To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by Customer Care or an authorized dealer.
   THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN, PERSONS WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES, OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE, UNLESS THEY ARE UNDER  DIRECT SUPERVISION OR INSTRUCTION BY A PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SAFETY.

6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.

7. Do not enlarge igniter holes or burn pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.

8. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.

9. Remove pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When  ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
WOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural, wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural wood pellets, designed  for burning in pellet barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives. Wood pellets are highly susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an airtight container. If you are storing your grill, without use, for an extended  period, we recommend clearing all pellets from your grill’s hopper and auger, to prevent jams. The pellet fuel mean heating value in 8,00O 8,77O BTU/LB, ash content <1%.
DO NOT USE SPIRIT, PETROL, GASOLINE, LIGHTER-FLUID OR KEROSENE FOR LIGHTING OR REFRESHING A FIRE IN YOUR GRILL. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE WHEN IN USE.
At time of printing. there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet  Fuel Institute. Contact your local dealer about the quality of pellets in your area and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality of pellets used, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of  fuel
CREOSOTE
Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: blockage of the combustion fan,  failure to clean and maintain the burn area, moisture affected pellets, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
lt is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this  happen, turn the unit OFF, [et it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas
f creosote has formed within the unit, allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.  When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce risk of fire.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“THE SILENT KILLER”)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or any other fuels. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches,  dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease

GRILL ENVIRONMENT

With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as grilling.  As a pellet grill uses natural wood pellets. the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar content sauces.
WHERE TO SET UP THE GRILL
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time needed to perfect your meals. Extreme cold weather conditions may affect maximal temperature output.
All Louisiana Grills® units should keep a minimum clearance of 457 mm (18 inches) from combustible constructions. and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. To effectively assist your grill in achieving proper  temperature output, maintain heat retention, and heat recovery time when the lid is open. it is recommended to shelter your unit from the wind. In addition. adjusting the positioning of your grill by rotating a quarter turn – keeping the  air exhaust holes (vents) out of the wind – will result in better temperature control and output.
COLD WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of smoked foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:

• If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.
• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in relation  to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight. and get it done!
• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to help  you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
• In very cold weather. increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes.
• Avoid lifting the lid any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be flexible with your serving time; add about 10-15 minutes extra cooking time each time you open the lid.
• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
• Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens. ribs, and turkey. Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes.

HOT WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes warmer outdoors. the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the hot months:

• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat from over cooking and drying out.
• Even in hot weather it is still better to cook with the lid of your grill down.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the dome thermometer. All temperatures listed below are approximate and are affected by the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.
HIGH TEMPERATURE (205-315C / 401-600F)
This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. Use in tandem with the flame broiler for indirect or direct flame cooking. With the flame broiler slider open, direct Flamen is used to create those “blue” steaks, as well as flame-kissed  vegetables, garlic toast or s’mores! When the flame broiler slider is closed, the air circulates around the barrel, resulting in convection heat. High temperature is also used to achieve high heat in extreme cold weather conditions
MEDIUM TEMPERATURE (135-180C / 275–356F)
This range is best for baking. roasting. and finishing off that slow smoked creation. Cooking at these temperatures will greatly reduce the chances of a grease flare-up. Ensure that the flame broiler slider in the closed position, covering the  slotted openings. Great range for cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where you want versatility with control.
LOW TEMPERATURE (82-125C / 180-257F)
This range is used to slow roast, increase smoky flavor, and to keep foods warm. Infuse more smoke flavor and keep your meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (also known as low and slow). Recommended for the big turkey at Thanksgiving. juicy ham at Easter, or the huge holiday feast. Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing, and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a wood pellet grill. Hot smoking. another name for low and slow cooking. Hot  smoking works best when longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry
TIP: TO INTENSIFY THAT SAVORY FLAVOR, SWITCH TO A LOW TEMPERATURE RANGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PREHEATING YOUR GRILL. THIS ALLOWS THE SMOKE TO PENETRATE THE MEATS.
The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor chefs prefer to smoke at the end of a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes perfect!

AIRFLOW AND THE FEED SYSTEM

The heart of your grill lies in the relationship between the fan-forced convection airflow and the functionality of the auger feed system. The combustion/cooling fan blows air through the system, allowing the hot igniter air to light the  pellets and catch fire in the burn grate. The auger feed system will continue to cycle on and off, feeding pellets to the burn grate.
To ensure the combustion air holes (airflow) in the burn grate are not clogged, proper maintenance and cleaning of this area is essential. If the grill is not achieving the desired temperature, check to ensure the burn grate holes are clear
TIP: THE GRILL CAN RUN EFFICIENTLY OVER EXTENOEO PERIOOS OF TIME AS LONG AS THERE IS DRY ANO SUFFICIENT FUEL, PROPER AIRFLOW, AND THE COOKING COMPONENTS ARE CLEAN.
The unique design of the Louisiana Grills@ airflow system allows the majority of fly ash to be directed toward the bottom of the barrel, while directing the fan-forced convection heat to circulate around the Main Barrel. This type of airflow allows for a different quality of pellets to be used while reducing the possibility of fuel blockage and jams in the auger feed system

CONTROL BOARD 101

FIRST USE – BURN OFF

Before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a unit Burn Off. Start the unit and operate at a temperature over 180°C / 350°F, with the lid down, for 30 to 40 minutes to Burn Off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.

START-UIP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the Main Barrel lid. Check the burn grate to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
2. With the Main Barrel lid closed, press and hold the Power button for three seconds to turn on the unit. This will activate the start-up cycle: the feed system will begin to turn, the fan will start, and the igniter will begin to get hot. The  grill will produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The pellets will have successfully ignited once the smoke has cleared. The start-up cycle lasts until the unit reaches an minimum temperature of 65°C / 150°F or the igniter times out (24 minutes).
3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete. Set your desired temperature to start grilling!

SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE

1. When finished cooking, keep the Main Barrel lid closed, press and hold the Power Button for three seconds to turn the unit off. This will activate  the automatic cool-down cycle. The feed system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until the cool­ down cycle is completed. Once the cool-down cycle is complete, the fan will turn off.

COOKING GUIDELINES

Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results based on time and temperature. For best results. keep a record of what you cooked, at what temperature. how long you cooked for. and the results. Adjust to your taste for the next time. Practice makes perfect.
The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times. but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after smoke ring) on your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.
TIP: FOR BEST RESULTS, ALLOW TIME FOR MEATS TO REST AFTER COOKING. THIS ALLOWS THE NATURAL JUICES TO MIGRATE BACK INTO THE MEAT FIBER, GIVING A MUCH JUICER, FLAVORFUL CUT. RESTING  TIMES CAN BE AS LITTLE AS 3 MINUTES AND UP TO 60 MINUTES, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE PROTEIN.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Louisiana Grills® owners, our staff, and customers just like you, to become more familiar with your grill:
FOOD SAFETY

• Keep everything in the kitchen and cooking area clean. Use different platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you used to prepare or transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent cross contamination of  bacteria. Each marinade or basting sauce should have its own utensil.
• Keep hot foods hot (above 60°C / 140°F), and keep cold foods cold (below 3°C / 37°F).
• A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use it to serve with your meat, be sure to bring it to a boil before serving.
• Cooked foods should not be left out in the heat for more than an hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration for more than two hours.
• Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria can grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting  any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry.

COOKING PREPARATION

• Be prepared, or Mize en Place. This refers to preparing the cooking recipe, fuel, accessories, utensils, and all ingredients you require at grill side before you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before lighting the grill.
• A barbecue floor mat is very useful. In the event of food handling accidents and cooking spatter, a barbecue floor mat would protect a deck, patio, or stone platform from the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills.

GRILLING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• To infuse more smoke flavor into your meats, cook for longer and at lower temperatures (also known as low and slow). Meat will close its fibers after it reaches an internal temperature of 49C/ 120°F. Misting, or mopping, are great ways to keep meat from drying out.
• While searing your meats, cook with the lid down. Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the foods you are cooking. Smoking foods with hardwood pellets will turn meats and poultry pink. The  band of pink (after cooking) is referred to as a smoke ring and is highly prized by outdoor chefs.
• Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups.
• Leave open space between the foods and the extremities of the barrel for proper heat flow. Food on a crowded grill will require more cooking time.
• Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning burgers and fish. Using a piercing utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat and allow the juices to escape.
• Foods in deep casserole dishes will require more time to cook than a shallow baking pan.
• It’s a good idea to put cooked food onto a heated platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and roasts, benefit from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were driven to the surface by heat  to ease back to the centre of the meat, adding more flavor.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Any Louisiana Grills® appliance will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill:
HOPPER ASSEMBLY

• Quick part checks ensure that all hopper electrical components continue to function properly. Once the hopper access panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram). confirm that the igniter is free of debris or blockages.  Also check to ensure the four set screws are snug, keeping the igniter straight and centred in the stainless steel casing.
• Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vents. found on the exterior front and back sides of the hopper. Carefully, wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.

HOPPER CLEAN-OUT FEATURE
The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for easy cleaning and the ability to change out wood pellet fuel flavors. To empty, follow these steps:

1. Locate the clean-out door and door hook on the back side of the hopper.
2. Rotate the door hook (at the top) to the right so it is detached from the release latch rod. Place a clean, empty pail under the clean-out door and allow the door to lower.
3. Lift the release latch rod to open the drop-chute door, allowing the pellets from the hopper to empty.
4. Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess pellets, sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out through the hopper screen.

PROBES

• Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
• Although both the temperature probe and the meat probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause a probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.

INSIDE SURFACES

• It is recommended to clean your burn grate after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking  components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.

IMPORTANT: DUE TO HIGH HEAT, DO NOT COVER THE FLAME BROILER OR PROBES WITH ALUMINUM FOIL.

OUTSIDE SURFACES

• Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under warranty,  but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.

CLASSIC SMOKED BRISKET
A Classic Smoked Brisket recipe should be simple to follow and uses basic ingredients. Why? Because, the meat should be the star of the show. With this brisket recipe, there is no need to over-complicated the process and there will be so
much natural flavor, little more than a simple rub is needed for a great bark.

INGREDIENTS:
1 Beef Brisket, 12-15 lbs (5.4-6.8kg)
Louisiana Grills® Beef and Brisket Rub
INSTRUCTIONS:

• Turn on your grill. Let the fire catch, then set your grill to 225°F (107°C). While the grill is heating up, trim your brisket of excess fat by leaving about one quarter of an inch of fat so the meat stays moist during the long cooking  process. Season with your favorite rub – whatever floats your boat! Place your brisket on the grates of the grill, fat side up. Let it smoke for about 8-10hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 19O°F (87°C).
• Remove the meat from the grill. Wrap in pink butcher paper, then wrap that in a towel. Let it rest in a cooler for up to an hour so the juices can sit.
• Slice against the grain and enjoy!

TIP: TO SPEED UP THE STALL (THE POINT DURING THE COOK WHERE THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE STALLS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE RISING AGAIN) TRY WRAPPING YOUR BRISKET TIGHTLY IN  ALUMINUM FOIL OR PINK BUTCHER PAPER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LIQUID INSIDE (BEEF STOCK IS GOOD) AND THROW BACK ON THE GRILL UNTIL IT REACHES YOUR DESIRED TEMPERATURE.

CHAMPION BEER CAN CHICKEN
Somewhere, some griller was drinking a cold one when they thought to themselves, “I wonder if it would taste better if I stuck a chicken on top of this and cooked it?” And thus, the Beer Can Chicken was born. This “Champion” Beer Can  Chicken recipe is a nod to the backyard barbecue grilling classic. Our famous Champion Chicken Seasoning is rubbed all over the bird which then cooks on a chicken throne filled with beer and barbecue sauce. The result is a delicious,  tender, and moist chicken the whole family will love..

INGREDIENTS:
1 Whole, Chicken
1 Can, Beer, Any Brand
3 Tbsp (45g), Louisiana Grills® Memphis Style Barbecue Sauce
2 Tbsp (3Og), Olive Oil
Louisiana Grills® Champion Chicken Seasoning
PELLET FLAVOR:

• HICKORY
• COMPETITION BLEND
• MESQUITE

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Remove the chicken from the bag and make sure all the giblets and organs are removed from inside the chicken. Rinse the bird, inside and out, then pat dry. Brush the chicken generously with olive oil and season with Louisiana Champion Chicken Seasoning. Let the chicken sit for at least 15 minutes with the seasoning on top.

• Pour out half a can of beer until you have half a can remaining. Next, add the barbecue sauce into the can of beer, or a chicken throne. Carefully slide the chicken onto the beer can or chicken throne so that the cavity fits snugly. Tuck
  the chicken wings behind the chicken’s back.

• Turn on your grill. Let the fire catch, then set your grill to 35O°F (176°C).

• Grill your chicken upright on the beer can or chicken throne for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes until the internal temperature reads 18O°F (82°C) at the thickest part of the chicken (the breasts, legs, and thighs) and the juices run clear.

• Remove the chicken from the grill and allow to rest 15 minutes.

• Carve the chicken and serve.

TIP: FOR MORE FLAVOR, LET THE CHICKEN SIT IN A WET BRINE OVERNIGHT IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
