1

Preheat the grill and prepare for barbecuing.

2

Season the chicken pieces (wings, drumsticks, breasts) with a special green seasoning.

3

Place the seasoned chicken in a pot without water to pre-cook it.

4

Cover the pot and cook the chicken on low heat for 22 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

5

Remove the chicken from the pot, which will have released its natural juices, creating a chicken stock.

6

Prepare the grill with charcoal, ensuring the embers are white and ready for cooking.

7

Place the white meat (breasts and wings) on the grill first, skin side down.

8

Cook the white meat for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, developing a char.

9

Apply the barbecue sauce to the chicken after a few minutes of grilling to prevent burning.

10

Control any excessive flames by adding a little water to the grill if needed.
