Brined Cherry Chipotle Chicken

These chickens get a double dose of flavor: first they’re rubbed with a dry brine and then brushed with a piquant cherry chipotle barbecue sauce as they grill. Rounds of sweet corn, known as corn wheels, cook along with the birds in our two-in-one vertical chicken roaster. Serve your favorite salad or coleslaw alongside.
