The juiciest chicken on the grill starts with bone-in, skin-on pieces. Ask your butcher to cut up a whole chicken or watch our helpful video here. Then dry-brine the chicken with a simple salt-and-pepper rub and let stand; prepare your sauce and get your grill going while you wait.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 chicken (4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces (breasts halved crosswise)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup apple-cider vinegar
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 finely minced garlic cloves
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly on chicken, then set chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand uncovered 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, bring ketchup, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to 1 cup, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer sauce to a bowl.
  • 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 with sauce and cook, turning frequently, until caramelized and lightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Brush on more sauce as pieces come off the grill, or serve it on the side.

I'm not a big fan of barbecue chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so moist and tender, and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it turned out great. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious.
