Cooked a whole chicken

Decided to put a whole chicken on the grill. First I rinsed the chicken and covered it all over with kosher salt. Then I let it sit in the fridge for about 3 hours. By the way, I learned this from Jamie Purviance in one of his Weber cookbooks. After sitting in the fridge to cure, I rinsed the bird again and put it on the grill indirect. I setup the grill to have two heat zones (coals on one side) and hickory wood chunks. Left it on there for about 2 hours and pulled it. Let it sit for about 30 minutes and then sliced it up. I think it was one of my best. Why? Probably b/c I didn't do anything special to it like trying to cover it with sauce, marinade it, etc. I'll definitely do this again.
