Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 chicken (4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces (breasts halved crosswise)
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 thinly sliced red chile pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine paprika, mustard, sugar, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly on chicken, then set chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand uncovered 1 hour.
  • Separately, combine vinegar, honey, and chile.
  • Heat a charcoal grill, creating a two-zone fire with vents partially open. Position coals on one side of the grill for direct high heat, and leave the other side empty for indirect lower heat. (On a gas grill, turn one side on high, and leave the other burners off.) Lightly coat chicken with olive oil and place over indirect heat. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until pieces are cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts (not touching bones) registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover grill; transfer chicken to direct heat. Brush on vinegar sauce as pieces come off the grill, and serve it on the side.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the chicken and the sauce, and they even ate the broccoli that I served on the side.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of lemon juice next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a double batch of the sauce and used it to make chicken tacos, chicken salad, and chicken sandwiches. Everything turned out great!

The chicken was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try brining it next time.
