We actually do this often and received a rack a couple years ago, for Christmas from friends, that holds 2 cans and 2 chicken and has handles to hold. It makes it a lot easier but is not necessary, but the tin foil on the grill is, otherwise the chicken will burn from the drippings causing flare ups.

We usually do this on gas, but it can be done on charcoal as well, the cooking time is a little longer and not as even.

We do this a lot when we have company, it is a great crowd pleaser!
