Grilling a whole chicken?

[toniiv]

I have to feed a crowd soon and I decided to grill whole chickens... I am trying to figure out the best way to do it. I need to grill maybe 4-5 whole chickens. I don't have a spit.

I was thinking to butterfly them and marinate them in a ladolemono, then grill them until they're cooked, rotating them often. Do you think this will work?

What about doing the can method? Not a Greek tradition for sure, but you can place a good amount of birdies on your grill.

I totally forgot about the can method! I had a friend who did this all the time. I recall the chicken doesn't need to be rotated using it?
