1 (3- to- 4-pound) whole chicken,
    cut into serving pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups Georgia Sauce

In a grill with a lid, prepare a fire for indirect-heat method of cooking, placing drip pan beneath rack. For added flavor, presoak aromatic hardwood chips (for gas grill) or chunks (for charcoal grill).

Wipe chicken with paper towels. Brush chicken with oil.

When fire is ready, add hardwood chips or chunks to fire. Allow fire to cool to a cooking temperature of 225 degrees F. To determine temperature, hold your palm 2 to 3 inches above the heat. Count. If you can hold your hand there for 6 seconds, the heat is right.

Brown chicken on all sides over direct heat, about 5 minutes per side.

Move chicken over indirect heat and close lid. Monitor fire to maintain proper cooking temperature. After 15 minutes, turn chicken over and baste with some of the Georgia Sauce, reserving remainder.

After another 15 minutes, place aluminum foil under chicken, pricking foil in about 12 places to allow smoke to pass through. Baste again with sauce. Close lid.

Every 10 minutes, baste chicken with sauce and turn over. Chicken is done in approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, or when breast reaches 170 degrees F on a thermometer. Serve immediately.
