I do mine on a gas BBQ, but you could easily do it on a charcoal one. Heres how I do mine. Light the BBQ and heat with the lid down till hot enough to cook on. When its up to heat, turn one burner off, keeping the lid closed. Take some smoking chips that you've soaked in water for about 20 mins, wrap them in a foil parcel and make a couple of small holes in the parcel with a skewer. Place the foil parcel over the burner thats still lit, close the lid & wait around 5 mins till you can smell the chips start to smoke. Take your chicken and rub with oil, then place over the burner you turned off. Again close the lid and leave till cooked - depending on the size of the chicken it could take anything from 1 - 2 hours. If you're using a charcoal bbq, just light the coals as normal, then when ready to cook, push them over one side and cook the chicken over the other side.
