If you're using a charcoal grill, use the lid to control the heat and the flame-ups.
Also, what you can do is push most of the coals to the edge of the grill (I'm assuming you have a kettle type grill) and leave a few in the middle. This will help cook the chicken, but you won't have stuff splattering the ashed back onto your food.
Use the lid and cover the grill to let the chicken cook and the grill will retain the heat. Adjust the top air vent to keep the coals burning hot.

Cook using indirect heat method, where if its a gas grill turn off one side and put the chicken on the cold side. With charcoal, put the coals to either side and place an aluminum pan in the middle with water or beer, placing the chicken over the pan.
Also, do not put sauce on until the very last couple of minutes, and try not to put a bunch of sugar in the marinade or the sugar will be burnt while the chicken is still raw.
As for heat, look to rules of grilling that tell you how hot the fire is. This is achieved by how many seconds you can hover your hand over the cooking area. Usually about 2 seconds but some recipes vary.
Remember that chicken cooks over lower heat than burgers or steaks.

Defrost your chicken in simmering water. This helps it stay moist. I usually partially cook it in water.
Cook, breast down and covered, at 350 for an hour and then flip it over and add butter to the breast and let it cook another 30 minutes until top is browned.
If you're grilling, partially cook in simmering water and then put it on the grill AFTER the flames die down.
Make sure the juices run clear and enjoy!

line your grill with heavy duty aluminum foil. you will still have the smoky charcoal flavor but it will not flare and burn . baste chicken with oil or butter and spices before putting it on the foil . spray the foil with some pam non-stick for grilling and use tongs to turn the chicken so as not to put a hole in the foil.

season it with garlic powder and onion powder,then put in a skillet with a big scoop if melted butter flip it only once dont play with it you'll dry it out and if its thick breast just let it barely get brown then do it the same on the other side be sure you keep butter in the skillet and watch you flame thats probably your biggest issue
