Steps:
- Grill chicken halves, turning frequently and basting with sauce at least six times. Dab on more sauce just before removing the chicken from the grill and again just before serving. Serve basting sauce on the side with the chicken. Basting Sauce: Blend, taste, and add more seasonings if you like (I would add more pepper and hot sauce). Use 1/2 of this mixture to marinate the chicken, 1/4 to baste while cooking, and 1/4 for a final baste and to serve alongside the chicken. You'll want to keep this last 1/4 of the marinade apart from the rest so it doesn't get contaminated by raw chicken juices. I can't vouch for these measurements because when I made the chicken, I just dumped ingredients together until it looked right to me. cook's notes Over the summer, the Washington Post published an article about an Eastern Shore fire department chicken barbecue that did a brisk business selling chicken to people travelling to and from the Maryland and Delaware beaches. They did not include a recipe, but one of the firefighters was kind enough to provide a general description of what goes into the chicken marinade along with information on how they cook the chicken. I've made this at home and it turned out great, as good as the chicken from our local (south-central Pennsylvania) fire department's summer barbecues. I can't provide exact measurements, but if you already know how to make a marinade, you should do fine.

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:
- Brine the chicken: This step is essential for juicy, flavorful chicken. Brining helps to tenderize the meat and lock in moisture.
- Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives the chicken its delicious crust. Be generous with the rub, and make sure to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and cook the chicken on the other side.
- Use a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken, and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
Greenwood BBQ Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your chicken turns out perfectly every time. So fire up your grill, grab a cold drink, and enjoy!
