Clean and wash chicken. Cut open as per picture. Put in salt water at least for 5 hours up to 24 hours. Salt is 5 tbsp per gallon.
Prepare barbecue. The trick is to use natural lump hardwood chips(like Cowboy brand, but there are lots more). No briquettes, they always have chemicals in them and they stink. Put chips in the starter and they light up really fast. Put chips on one side of barbecue.
Now you are ready to put chicken on the barbecue. Brush the whole chicken with liquid unsalted butter with salt added. Do not use salted butter, it is old. When they salt the butter they can keep it for much longer. Unsalted butter has to be fresh.
Put chicken on the side of barbecue which has no flames, brushing with butter and turning.If the top is not nicely gold let it sit on barbecue a little longer. Do not put over coals it will burn. If you need more coals just add to the coal side. Have a lid on, all the times.
Serve with mixed greens or anything you want.
