Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup (packed) light brown sugar
2 Tbsp. honey
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. country-style mustard
5-6 lb. skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts and/or whole legs
2 Tbsp. plus 3 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
2 large sweet onions, sliced into ½"-thick rounds
1 (15-oz.) jar pickled green beans
2 lb. tomatoes, halved if large, sliced into ½"-thick rounds

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals over one side of grill and scatter remaining coals over the other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to medium-high heat and the remaining burners to medium-low heat). Clean and lightly oil grate.
  • Mix vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, and 1/2 cup mustard in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Season chicken on all sides with 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. salt. Grill chicken skin side down over direct heat, turning halfway through or whenever there is a flare, until lightly charred, 5-8 minutes. Move chicken to cooler part of grill, cover with lid, and continue to grill, turning several times and keeping covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 140°F, 15-20 minutes. The smaller pieces will go more quickly ,and you can transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet until all pieces are ready.
  • Uncover grill and return any pieces from baking sheet back to grill. Using a brush, generously baste chicken with reserved sauce. Continue to grill, turning every 1-2 minutes and basting the other side, until the internal temperature of thickest part of breast registers 155°F and sauce is shiny and lacquered, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board as pieces are done (again, the smaller pieces will go more quickly). Let rest 10 minutes before separating drumsticks from thighs and slicing chicken breast in half on a bias.
  • While chicken rests, gently toss onions, 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl, being careful not to break up onion rounds into rings. Grill over medium-low heat, turning once, until charred on both sides and tender, 10-15 minutes.
  • Whisk 2 Tbsp. bean pickling liquid and remaining 2 Tbsp. mustard in a large bowl. Drain beans and add to bowl. Add tomatoes and grilled onions. Toss to combine; season with salt.
  • Arrange chicken on a large platter and serve with salad alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

MUSTARD & VINEGAR BARBECUE SAUCE



Mustard & Vinegar Barbecue Sauce image

Though the first time I made this sauce, I was hesitant -- I mean, just LOOK at how much VINEGAR is in it! After "The Hasenpfeffer Incident" about 15 years ago, I've been extremely cautious of recipes that call for more than a few tablespoonsful of the stuff. But the lack of tomato sauce and the large amount of mustard intrigued me. After a while, that is...I had this gem sitting in my database for at least a year before I mustered (HA!) up the courage to serve it to my unsuspecting family. As it turned out, I had no reason for concern. I used it to baste chicken as I cooked it. They asked for seconds immediately, and for thirds, but alas, there were none. I was ordered to make chicken with this sauce again. And again. Since I do not currently have a grill, I used my grill pan, and cooked it over medium heat, covered with whatever lid I could find lying around that would sort of cover it, mostly. An added bonus of the grill pan is the sauce which collects in the bottom and caramelizes. They fight over who gets the pan scrapings! Plus, I had to explain what "caramelization" means, so the kids got a cooking lesson as well!
