How long does it take to grill a whole chicken?

The exact time depends on the size of your chicken. Whole chicken needs to be grilled for 15-20 minutes per pound. Make sure you read the weight on the label before throwing the packaging away so you can perfectly calculate the grilling time.

Prepping a gas grill vs a charcoal grill

Preheat the gas grill to medium-high heat. With the charcoal grill, light a chimney full of charcoal. When the coal is ready, pour it over one-half of the grill. Cover it and let it heat

Make a spice rub

Whisk the ingredients for the spice rub in a bowl until well combined. Set it aside.

Add the spice rub

Pat the chicken dry. Evenly coat the chicken with spices. Don’t forget the inside cavity!

Grill the chicken
