You are correct on all points. Nothing like the charcoal taste. Also large Chicken pieces tend to have the reddish/pinkish colour deep inside near to the bone.
Specially the drumsticks have this issue. What I do is to microwave the chicken for less than 5 minutes. Microwaves starts cooking from inside and when you place it on the fire, it's nicely done both outside and inside.
