Steps:
- For the brine and chicken: Combine the salt, brown sugar and 16 cups (1 gallon) cold water in a large plastic container and stir to dissolve. Add the chicken; cover and refrigerate to marinate for 4 to 6 hours.
- Prepare a charcoal fire using about 6 pounds of charcoal and burn until the coals are completely covered with a thin coating of light gray ash, 20 to 30 minutes. Spread the coals evenly over the grill bottom, position the grill rack above the coals and heat until medium hot (when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill surface for no longer than 3 or 4 seconds). Or, for a gas grill, turn on all burners to high, close the lid and heat until very hot, 10 to 15 minutes.
- For the basting liquid: Whisk together 1/2 cup water, the vinegar, oil, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Drain the chicken well and pat dry; sprinkle with pepper. Apply some oil to the grill grate. Place the chicken on the grill, leaving plenty of space between each piece. Grill until seared, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium or move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill. Continue to grill, turning occasionally and brushing with the basting liquid, until the juices run clear when the meat is pierced, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pieces from the grill as they cook and transfer to a warm platter. Serve immediately!

APPLE CIDER-MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN
Family favorite grilled chicken. Sweet apple cider taste with a little spice. One of the best things about our time in Texas was learning to grill great food like this. After the first time you make this recipe, everyone will know when you are making it just by the delicious smoke smell from cooking. This goes great with long grain and wild rice and corn on the cob.

Steps:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk and mix well.
- In a third dish, mix the remaining ⅓ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and reserve for topping.
- Slice apples into ¼-inch slices. Using a biscuit cutter, remove the cores along with the seeds, leaving ¼-inch-wide rings. Pat the apple rings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- As the oil heats, combine the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture together into the batter, mixing well to remove any lumps.
- Dip the apple rings, one at a time, into the batter. Tap apple rings against the side of the bowl to remove any excess batter.
- Gently place the rings in the hot oil and fry in small batches, turning so that they brown on both sides.
- Once the apple rings are golden and crispy, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Dip each apple ring into the cinnamon sugar and coat evenly. Place on a wire cooling rack - setting the fried-and-coated rings on a plate will result in soggy apple rings! - and serve warm.
- Cinnamon Sugar Topping.
- - ⅓ cup sugar.
- - 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of the chicken, use a flavorful olive oil, such as Tuscan herb or lemon-infused oil.
- Make sure to thoroughly coat the chicken in the marinade to ensure even flavor distribution.
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can use a regular skillet over medium-high heat. Just be sure to grease the pan well to prevent sticking.
- When grilling the apple rings, keep an eye on them to prevent burning. They should be tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve the chicken and apple rings with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
Conclusion:
Apple-marinated roast chicken with grilled apple rings is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the apple rings add a sweet and tangy touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
