One hour before cooking, soak mesquite wood chips in water. Preheat grill on high. Drain water from chips and place in metal container. Place container in front corner of grill. Lower front setting to med. high and back to medium. Turn off middle burner and place chicken breast side up on grill. Close lid and cook for 3/4 hour.
