Is boiling the chicken first a good way to speed up the process? It doesn't sound like a good way but if I am in a time crunch and want my chicken cooked faster, would this way be OK?

I wouldn't boil first.

What kind of chicken? If you grill it at 350, it shouldn't take very long.

Grill direct with dry rub first, then 10 minutes before you pull it off, baste with sauce and wrap in foil. This should get it cooked quick. Not the greatest, but still good.

If you're in a rush, just get a rotisserie chicken. Why go through the hassle of cooking if you're going to rush it?

I would do the same thing. Get a whole chicken and halve it to grill then finish of the grilling with putting your favorite sauce on the chicken

Split

And season under the skin and on top.
Since u won't have time to marinade or brine.

This is exactly what I've always done, and it's impossible to screw it up. Might take 30-40 minutes total.

I spatchcock and brick press on my gas grill. Pretty quick and depending on what type of marinade, rub, sauce, etc I use, I can get a lot of different flavors.

My wife par boils chicken before she grills it when not enough time to brine, works surprisingly well. Chicken cooks fast and the grill works as a searing mechanism.

As good as smoked? No. Better than cooking super fast on a grill and drying out? Yes.

I appreciate all the feedback. Turns out, I did have time to cook as plans were changed and boiling wasn't necessary. But I did cook them a way I didn't see here at least I don't think I seen. I went the indirect heat way by not placing the chicken on the actual flame and just slow cooked them 30 minutes a side and then placing a sauce on them towards the end. I want to try a beer-can chicken soon.

this is exactly how i bbq my chicken. I let them sit on direct heat for a few minutes then switch over to indirect high heat. It never fails and you don't get pieces burned to a crisp if the grill flames up.

Same here. OP, fwiw - Beer Can Chicken is overated. If you want a super juicy bird, brine it then spatchcock it on indirect heat.

Not if done right. Beer can chicken smoked with a good rub is awesome.

To the OP:

I've actually smoked chicken on a gas grill. I used ceramic briquettes over the flame. Cut the heat way down and drop soaked wood chips on the briquettes. You're looking for a temp between 215 and 250. Keep using chips as needed to keep a good smoke going. Use only one side for burners and put the chicken on the other side (indirect heat).
