  • 2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise
  • enough red potatoes for your your number of servings

Instructions
 

For the Chicken

  • The day before grilling the chicken, spatchcock your chicken, rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and place uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. 
    Remove from the refrigerator one hour before grilling to allow to come to room temperature.  I used my gas grill, but you can use a charcoal grill. I heated my gas grill to 350 degrees.  I placed the chicken on the top rack, turned the burner off directly below and left the burners low to medium on the opposite side.  Maintaining the 350 degrees, cook until your chicken registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees.  After about 45 minutes start brushing your chicken with barbecue sauce.  It will take an additional 30 minutes to 45 minutes to reach the desired temperature.  Brush again in about 15minutes and again if you like. 
    When done, remove from the grill and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes.  

For the Grilled Vegetables

  • Slice the red potatoes in half and boil in water seasoned with salt and a little oil until they are tender.  Gently remove from the heat to not tear the skin to tear.  If you are not placing the potatoes immediately on the grill, cover with saran wrap.  
  • Slice the two squashes.  Brush the potatoes and squash with oil and season with salt and pepper.  Place on the hot grill.  Allow the vegetables to cook until you have nice grill marks.  Turn, and do the same on the other side.  It's not really necessary to get grill marks on the other side of your potatoes.  When done, remove to a serving platter.  I drizzled a salsa verde on the potatoes and some lemon juice on the vegetables.
