Sear all the chicken pieces for about two to three minutes per side, turning only once, until golden brown, making sure to not let the skin char. For leg pieces, give them a quarter turn every 90 seconds. If the grill flares up, temporarily move the chicken away from the coals.
To parboil the chicken, add it to simmering, not boiling, water. Parboiling it does not cook the meat through completely, but allows the cook to finish it by grilling afterwards. Chicken breasts take about 10 minutes to parboil. Legs, thighs and quarters take about five minutes and chicken wings take 15 to 20 minutes. After parboiling, they can be dry-rubbed with seasoning. Heat the grill for 15 minutes and place the chicken on, allowing it to cook for 10 to 15 minutes before turning it over.
