GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PAPAYA BBQ SAUCE
It's June so fire up that BBQ and get busy. With this recipe you'll enjoy the flavors of tropical fruit and citrus along with some heat on your chicken. I strongly suspect that the seasoned rice wine vinegar could be replaced with white wine vinegar. Time does not include marinading time.

Steps:
- Mix barbecue sauce and salad dressing together.
- Put chicken legs in a large zip-top bag and pour sauce all over them. Squeeze out the excess air and seal the bag. Massage marinade into the chicken a bit, then refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Remove chicken from the refrigerator; set bag on the counter and bring to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate. Load a smoker box with wood chips and set on the grate.
- Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then flip, basting both sides with the remaining marinade.
- Continue to cook (with the lid closed and listening for flare-ups) until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GRILLED JERK CHICKEN WITH PAPAYA SALSA
Steps:
- MAKE MARINADE
- Blend all marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- MARINATE AND GRILL CHICKEN
- Divide the chicken pieces and marinade in 2 sealable plastic bags. Seal the bags, pressing out excess air, then turn bags over several times to distribute marinade. Put bags of chicken in a shallow pan and marinate, chilled, turning once or twice, for 1 day.
- Let chicken stand at room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
- COOK CHICKEN USING CHARCOAL GRILL
- Open the vents on the bottom of the grill and on the lid. Light a large chimney of charcoal briquettes (about 100) and pour them evenly over one side of a bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of charcoal).
- When the charcoal turns grayish white and you can hold your hand 5 inches above the rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear the chicken in batches on a lightly oiled rack over the coals until well browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Move the chicken as seared to the side of the grill with no coals underneath, then cook, covered with the lid, until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes more.
- Serve the chicken with the papaya salsa.
- COOK CHICKEN USING GAS GRILL
- Preheat the burners on high, then adjust heat to moderate. Cook chicken until well browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the heat to low and cook chicken, covered with lid, until cooked through, about 25 minutes more.
- Serve the chicken with papaya salsa.
- COOK CHICKEN USING AN OVEN
- If you can't grill, you can roast the chicken in two large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans in the upper and lower thirds of a 400°F oven, switching the position of the pans halfway through the roasting, 40 to 45 minutes total.
