Generally, "overcooked" means "cooked too much" or "damaged by being cooked too much". In the case of a barbeque you can use more colourful words like "frazzled" (not "frizzled"), "charred", "burnt", "burnt to a cinder", "burnt to a crisp" etc.

"burnt to cinder"/"burnt to crisp"/"charred" are colorful indeed. I just checked
