Basement chicken meaning cooking the chicken on a stand, on the charcoal grate, and not the cooking grate?
I've done them upright on the charcoal grate with baskets on both sides of the grill, but I've also cooked it laid down between the baskets which is what most people refer to as cooking in the basement. It works really well as the dark meat is close to the baskets and cooks faster that the white meat....so your bird is done at the same time instead of the typical problem of the breast being done and the dark meat still needs more time. I like to shoot for the dark meat to be 170-180 and the breast at 165.
