📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the herb rub, in a small bowl combine garlic powder, oregano, paprika, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper). Rub generously all over the chicken pieces, and let sit at room temperature for up to ⏱️ 1 hour.

2
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill over medium-high heat (see note 3). Sprinkle the wood chips on the coals, or add in a perforated foil packet to a gas grill.
3
Coat grill with 2 tablespoons oil. Grill the chicken directly over medium-high heat, turning once, until well browned, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes on each side.
4
Transfer the pieces to the unheated portion of the grill, close the grill cover, and cook for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Brush both sides of the chicken pieces liberally with barbecue sauce and cook for ⏱️ 5 minutes longer.

Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a thermometer and bits of caramelized sauce have begun to cling to the outside of the chicken. As pieces finish cooking (the breasts will be done first), transfer them to a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil until ready to serve.
