BBQ Chicken on a Baking Sheet

Dorr's BBQ Chicken

This recipe, from my grandfather, makes some of the most delicious BBQ chicken you'll ever have. Similar to Fireman's Chicken, this recipe take a couple hours to grill, but is 100% worth the wait. It produces moist flavorful meat and delectable crisp skin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Tabasco Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Whole Chickens (Quarters, Halves, or Whole)

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except for the chicken until well combined. Use a fork to poke holes in your chicken sections, then place them in a gallon zip lock bag. Add half the marinade to your chicken and reserve the other half of the marinade for later. Zip up the bag and let the chicken marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Prepare your grill for indirect heat. Remove your chicken from the bag and pat it dry. Cook it on the indirect side of your grill, flipping to provide an even cook. Baste your chicken with the reserved marinade every 10-30 minutes. Cook to an internal temperature of 165.
  • Once the chicken has reached 165 degrees internal. Move the poultry to the direct heat side of your grill to crisp the skin. Cook one to two minutes per side, then serve.
