Regarding BBQ Inc.
The advantage of grilling different chicken pieces is that everyone can pick the piece they want. The problem is getting all the pieces grilled perfectly so that everyone is happy. This is one of the reasons many people have switched to grilling only one cut of chicken.

You should decide how you want to flavor your chicken before you get started. I will be putting on a good poultry rub to begin with and a barbecue sauce at the end. These are optional, but add a lot to the texture and flavor of the chicken. If you are going this route, pick these out before you unpack your chicken and have them ready.
