Chili-Rubbed Chicken with Barbecue

This delicious bbq chicken was featured on the cover of an old 1995 Bon Appetite magazine. Dry-rubbed before grilling, this delicious bird is then drizzled with a zesty sauce at the table. Note: You can elect to mop the chicken with the sauce during grilling if you wish.

Number Of Ingredients 12

CHILI RUB
3/4 c chili powder
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp cayenne pepper
MOP SAUCE
1 c hickory barbecue sauce
3/4 c ketchup
1/3 c orange juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp hot sauce (such as tabasco)
2 whole chickens, quartered (backbones discarded - 3 1/2 pounds each)
3 c mesquite wood chips (soaked in cold water for 1 hour) optional

Steps:

  • 1. For chili rub - mix all ingredients in bowl. For mop sauce - mix all sauce ingredients in medium bowl.
  • 2. Arrange chicken in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle rub generously on both sides of chicken, press to adhere. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.

Cover grill and cook chicken until cooked through, turning every 5 minutes and covering grill , about 35-40 minutes (chili rub may look slightly burned). Serve hot or warm passing mop sauce separately.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it. I'll try again next time and be more careful with the cooking time.

This chili rubbed chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chicken he's ever had. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
