Marinade For Charcoal Grilled Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange chicken in 9 x 13 x 2 inch dish.
• In small bowl, combine remaining ingredients, pour half mixture over chicken, cover and refrigerate chicken for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Cover and refrigerate bowl of remaining marinade for basting.
• Drain chicken, discard liquid.
• Wear a hot mitt,and use tongs to arrange medium hot briquettes in a ring, leaving 12 inches in center free of coals.
• Grill chicken on covered grill, skin side down, in center of grid, directly over coal free area for 25 minutes.
• Baste with reserved marinate.
• Turn, cook 20 to 25 minutes or until no longer pink at bone (Alternately, on gas grill, set end burners on medium heat, leave center burner off, place chicken over off burner and cook as instructed above).

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, oil, garlic, paprika, and salt in a nonreactive baking dish or large resealable plastic bag.
• Remove backbone from chicken using kitchen shears. Place chicken, breast side up, on cutting board, with legs extended on both sides. Press firmly on breastbone to break it and flatten chicken. Add to marinade. Cover dish or seal bag, and refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight), turning occasionally.
• Preheat grill to medium. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 or 6 seconds.) Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill. Close cover, and grill 15 minutes. Flip chicken, and close cover. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees, about 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Start a charcoal fire with the coals in the center of the grill.
• Rub the chicken pieces with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.
• Mix mayo, cider vinegar, and sugar.
• Rub the chicken with the mayo mixture, reserving a small amount to baste the chicken with at the end of its cooking.
• Let the chicken sit for about 30-45 minutes while charcoal gets ready to cook.
• Grill the chicken skin side down for 30 minutes, to the outside of the grill, not directly over the hot coals. After 30 minutes, turn the chicken and continue to cook until done, turning occasionally as needed. Time will vary depending on the size of your pieces and how hot the fire is.
• When the chicken is done cooking, baste the chicken with the reserved marinade.
• You can substitute a package of any bone in chicken pieces you like for the whole chicken!
• Serve and enjoy!
