The Most Popular and Best Chicken Recipes at Barbecue & Grilling

There are a lot of ways to cook chicken. The grill (or smoker) makes any cut of chicken better. From Beer Can Chicken to Rotisserie to Chicken Wings, there are millions of ways of making the most of your next chicken dish. These ten recipe are the most popular I have and represent a wide variety of great ways to grill or smoke chicken.

1. Spit Roasted Chicken

The bacon and the butter help to keep this rotisserie chicken moist and give it an old world fire roasted taste. This is as traditional as it gets when it comes to rotisserie chicken.

2. Take Out Style Rotisserie Chicken

Love that rotisserie chicken you get at the store? Well this is even better because you make it fresh, season it to your liking, and you get to watch it cook. Maybe I should call it "Better Than Take Out Style Rotisserie Chicken".

3. Beer in the Butt Chicken

This is the classic beer in the butt chicken recipe, developed by a couple of guys with too many beer cans and not enough pans. This chicken is moist and flavorful. About the best way there is to cook a chicken. This recipe uses a smoker to slow roast the chicken with lots of smoky flavor.

7. Chicken Quesadillas

Grill these Chicken Quesadillas on a griddle and put the lid down to hold in some of the smoke. This is a much better Quesadilla than you get off the stove.
