FIREHOUSE EVENT POULTRY MARINADE
I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar because the marinade looks very interesting and I want to try it. However, the amount of cider vinegar seem a little much. When I made this to make Chicken Kabobs, I decreased the cider vinegar and salt, so I've adjusted the recipe some. Very nice marinade. Chicken came out very moist and flavorful.

FIRE DEPARTMENT CHICKEN
My family loved this chicken sauce. I made some changes to the recipe for my families taste. I added 3 tablespoons poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. I used skinless, boneless chicken that was grilled on low till cooked. I had to mop this on as the seasonings would not go through the spray bottle nozzle. My future hubby loves when I marinade the chicken in the sauce over night. I put everything in a bag and pop it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Please note this sauce will have a very strong vinegar smell when being cooked to the boil. I recommend cooking it outside if at all possible. I got the recipe from Copy Kat chat. If you have ever tasted the local Fire Department's grilled chicken, here is the spray they use. You can use any cut of chicken you choose, but most Fire Departments use either halves or quarters.

Tips:
- Use a variety of wood chips to create different flavors of smoke. Some popular choices include hickory, mesquite, and apple.
- Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help to prevent them from burning too quickly.
- Place the wood chips in a smoker box or on a foil packet on the grill. Make sure the wood chips are not directly over the heat source.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
- Baste the chicken with barbecue sauce every 30 minutes or so. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
Firehouse Barbecue Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a memorable meal that your friends and family will love.
