Kelli Bhattacharjee gave me this recipe, which was a winner one year at Versailles Poultry Days. I made a few changes to it and this is hands down my favorite grilled chicken ever! I have literally been making it at least once a week since I've had the recipe. Try it. You won't be disappointed! This is absolutely delicious and makes a very moist and flavorful finished product.

Ingredients

2 cups white distilled vinegar
2 cups water
2 sticks butter
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 (8 ounce) bone-in chicken breasts
4 chicken leg quarters

Steps:

Combine vinegar, water, butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, pepper, sugar, and minced garlic in a pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let marinade cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
Place chicken in a resealable zip-top bag. Pour marinade over chicken, seal, and marinate, 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Transfer chicken pieces to the grill, shaking off excess marinade; discard remaining marinade.
Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CUBAN GARLIC CHICKEN

Cuban Garlic Chicken image

This is straight from Havana, from a restaurant called "Gladys' House". Adapted from a recipe printed in the Chicago Tribune. You can find bottled sour orange juice in Hispanic markets or well-stocked Hispanic aisles in your local grocery store. Cook/prepare time includes marination time of one hour. I'm having a really hard time getting the first ingredient through the Zaar editor, but it's 2, 3-4 lb. chickens, cut into serving pieces

Time 2h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 -8 lbs whole chickens (2 3-4 lb. chicken, cut into pieces)
12 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 cup sour orange juice (or 1/2 cup orange juice mixed with 1/2 cup lime juice)
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

Place the chicken in a container large enough to hold all the pieces (I used an extra-large zip-loc bag).
Combine the garlic, sour orange juice, salt, vinegar, pepper, oregano and cumin in a small bowl. pour the marinade evenly over the chicken; cover chicken (or close bag and smush it around); refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
Heat oven to 450°. Arrange chicken in one layer in a roasting pan; pour the marinade evenly over the top of the chicken.
Roast the chicken in the lower third of the oven, stirring during the last 10 minutes to coat with the sauce, until it is cooked through and the sauce begins to caramelize, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove the chicken to a platter, spoon garlic sauce over the pieces.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and flavorful herbs.
Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste: If you like more garlic, add more. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less. You can also adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking.
Pay attention to the cooking time: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Undercooked chicken can be dangerous to eat. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Serve with your favorite sides: Versailles garlic chicken pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
