Ingredients
- 2 chickens (2 1/2 to 3 pounds each), quartered, with backs removed
- 1 recipe Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
Marinate the chickens in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat the coals in a charcoal grill. Spread the bottom of the grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the chicken quarters on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 45 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed. The chicken quarters are done when you insert a knife between a leg and thigh and the juices run clear. Discard any unused marinade.
Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
Barbecue Sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup tomato paste (10 ounces)
- 1 cup cider vinegar
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Yield: 1 1/2 quarts

this is the best bbq sauce i ever had. the ingredient list is a little lengthy but simple to make. the second time i made this i actually grated the onion because i do not like large chunks of onion. but don't saute the onion as long as ina says in the recipe. depending on how many people you are cooking for you can get about three meals out of one batch. i tried it this weekend on tyler florence's pulled pork and it was delicious. my husband loves it so much he could eat it with just bread.

Though somewhat ingredient intensive this is the best barbecue saus I have ever made. Have used with chicken, pork chops and pork tenderloin..both on the grill and in the oven...delicious!
