Shame you don't have much luck with your chicken. I'm not sure if you
mean parts or whole chicken. I'll give quarters a try, I prefer the
dark meat.

Another mention of pork tenderloin, I'll have to try it and see how it
turns out.

Oh, another thing - when grilling chicken - skin on ? Does that help
the chicken retain moisture/juices?
