So, I didn't even suggest it....but started using my smart phone to look for ideas. I ended up combining a few and came up with something that is just gosh darn awesome and a pretty good approximation.
I have made it 4 times since that day. My husband and I argue over the leftovers. I can't say that the photo does it justice, but it is finger-licking bunches of yum...and I took the photo after we ate 2 of the 4 breasts.
Roadside BBQ Chicken
Mix together the following:
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce (for this I use store-brand because of the volume/cost thing)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp celery seed
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (sriracha, Frank's, whatever you like)
Divide this in half (probably a little over a cup and a quarter is half.
Put of of the halves in a seal-able bag with 4 whole (bone-in, skin-on) chicken breasts. Let marinate for at least 2 hours. I try to go for much longer.....like 6-8 hours.
To the other half, add 1/2 cup oil and save for basting.
After marinading, put the grill on high (we have a gas grill, so that's all the grilling info I can share). Wait 15 minutes, then put the chicken on skin side down and turn down to medium. After 15 minutes, whisk the oil into the reserved liquid and baste the chicken, then flip it over (bone-side-down). Keep it that way for the remainder of the cooking, basting every 15 minutes until the internal temperature is at lease 165F. It takes about an hour.
If you want, you can baste the entire thing with a BBQ sauce of your choice for the last 5 minutes and flip so both sides get the sauce charred on.
Let the meat rest for 10 minutes after removing from the grill.
Eat and enjoy!
