Ingredients

2 tablespoons non-iodized salt

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon ground thyme

1 teaspoon rubbed sage

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 whole chickens, skin removed and separated into white and dark meat parts 

2 whole chickens, skin removed and separated into white and dark meat parts

2 cups Stonewall Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows

Stonewall Barbecue Sauce:

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon hot sauce

Directions

  1. Mix dry ingredients together in a small bowl and rub into the chicken, making sure to get the rub into the nooks and crannies. Let rub sit on the chicken for up to 12 hours in the refrigerator. 
  2. Preheat a grill to medium heat. 
  3. Place dark meat on the grill first because it has a longer cooking time than white meat. Grill until the internal temperature of the chicken is 180 degrees F for all parts except the breasts and is 165 degrees F for the breasts when measured with an instant-read thermometer. When chicken is almost finished grilling, baste it with a generous amount of barbecue sauce all over the meat. Save any leftover sauce for dipping.

Stonewall Barbecue Sauce:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken.

This is a keeper recipe folks! Used both the rub and the bbq sauce on bone in skin on chicken thighs and legs. Beware the rub is VERY salty if you follow as-is. Recommend starting with half salt and adding more as desired.  I used smoked paprika in the rub. The bbq sauce takes awhile to reduce so be patient.  I added a bit of maple syrup for some sweetness.  Everyone raved about this chicken!! Not one bite left on the plate. Try it!!!
