I've had this roaster in the freezer for a while...it's one of those ready to cook deals with the cooking bag and all that jazz , but I ain't doin that...
Took it outa the bag and spatchcocked it...doused it with weber kickin chicken and threw it on the OTG with a butternut squash from my garden...

Looks great after an hour. Can't wait to see after that. What temp are you at? I usually run hot and fast on whole chickens.350-400 for 45-1hour.

Did you leave the squash on the whole time? Wonder how that "browns up"?

Luke , this was a big chicken and still a bit icy inside , so it took 2 hours to be cooked thru. I kept the grill at 375-400 the whole time...

yes. It was indirect the whole time and it came out cooked perfectly. Not burnt or scorched at all.I put a pat of butter in the hollow and seasoned it with my basic Alton brown BBQ rub.Brown sugar salt pepper garlic powder. It was sublime.

Thanks , Bob. This was the biggest thing I've cooked on the OTG so far and I was a bit anxious about time and temp , but the grill percolated along at almost 400 for two solid hours and I think it would have done at least another hour no sweat.

Chicken looks perfect and who could say no to butternut squash fresh from the garden prepared the good old fashioned way? In fact, you got me thinking about starting up a small garden for the first time in years!

Mac. (Can I call you Mac?) ;) I grow one or two containers every year right at the end of my driveway. (Full sun) "self watering" planters from Gardenerssupply.com each plant usually produces 5or 6 squash . Not a huge crop , but they are GOOD.
Here is the link to that company. I love these planters. I've got a bunch of them.

Thanks for the tip, Frank! I've got a couple "global buckets" I built a few years ago out of four 5 gallon plastic buckets. It's the same principle, just not front-yard worthy. Think I'll be digging those out before the start of the growing season next year.
 
Bring it on, that's one fine looking meal Frank!
I really like the planters, as Barb and I have to do container gardening due to not having room in our new patio home for a regular garden. Will be looking into those.
