Preparation

Well, you're going to need as well:

Tin foil (15x15).
8 lb. bag of matchlight charcoal.
Cotton string (about 3-4 ft.).
Make or acquire 3 sturdy wooden stakes. Drive them into ground after laying down foil.

Place seasoned chickens, breasts outwards, on stakes, and tie string around them tightly so that when cooking, nothing falls off.
Once chickens are placed and tied, spray a lot of butter all around the chickens and season them some more.
You're almost there!
Place hickory chips around and underneath the chickens.
Put bucket over chickens and pour all the charcoal around the bucket.
Light it up!
The chickens should cook for at least 3-3 1/2 hours.
