MAIN COURSE:    Smoky Grilled Whole Chicken

The word “barbecue”—often linked to grilled chicken—comes from the Taíno word “barbacoa,” which described a wooden rack used by Caribbean Indigenous peoples to slowly cook meat over fire. Early explorers brought the idea to Europe, and it eventually evolved into the backyard grilling tradition we love today!
