Forget about beer chicken (where you stick a can of beer up the chicken's . . . ). Next time, show some culinary skill by butterflying the chicken before cooking. To butterfly, cut the backbone out of the chicken with kitchen/poultry scissors (the toughest part is when you reach the hip bones).
The technique requires that you cut along each side of the backbone, cutting through the ribs. After removing the backbone, you can also remove the breastbone by pressing the chicken down after splitting it open and pulling it out with your fingers.
Bar-B-Que skin side up with planks. Drink the beer. Enjoy.

Pickle Your Salad
As a side salad for your bar-b-que, a great way to cut dressing calories without cutting taste is to add pickled vegis to your fresh salads. Pickling can be as easy as storing vegis is a vinegar and herb mix (white wine vinegar and dill works - though you can also buy commercial pickling spices). Choose firm, root type vegetables, and make in small batches, refrigerate and enjoy quickly, since they will sour within the week.
