    If you have three burners, get the two outer ones hot enough to get a temperature under the lid similar to how you‘d roast a chicken in the oven and put the chicken in the middle for indirect heat. If you only have two, I guess you need to flip it on the cooler side mid cooking for more even cooking. Dunno how you‘d do a little smoke on a gas grill, you probably know better than me.

    It should be no different. Fire up the burners on the right and the left, but leave the center off. Put the wood chips on one of the sides and follow the directions as if it were coal. I would turn down the burners so they're medium when you move the chicken directly over them, which may be too hot and may burn the skin.

    @@DJaquithFL chicken needs to reach an internal temp of 165, if you want to be absolutely sure any possible pathogens are killed instantly, yes. If you roast or pan-fry something, especially something with a large mass, the surface and outer area of the meat is way hotter than the center. Because it has a large mass, it retains heat better and heat becomes uniform by traveling from hotter to cooler areas. This can raise a piece of meat‘s temperature by 5-25 degrees fahrenheit, depending on how hot you cooked something and how big your piece of meat is. Something like a chicken of the size in the video will easily get to 165 in the center.
