Probably would not advise this. If you are doing a lot it is risky to get them through the temperature zones quickly and you will have to do it 3 times, once heating the chicken then cooling then heating again. I think you may also loose a lot of moisture. Just do them on the grill. Don't use a BBQ sauce use a dry rub and serve sauce on the side. This way you can keep a hot side of the grill and a cooler side with out worring that the chicken will burn with the sauce. Once the chicken is done keep in a pan thet you can leave on the grill to keep hot. I hope this works for you, if you come up with other ideas great, just becareful of your temperatures.

Another ideal to keep them warm after grilling would be putting them in a crock pot or roaster. Lets of luck.
