Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn over each piece and move to indirect heat.

Continue grilling, turning often, with the lid down until well browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
