Chili-Rubbed Chicken
Two 3 1/2-pound chickens, quartered and backbones discarded
Chili Rub:
3/4 cup chili powder
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Defense Dip:
1 cup Original #7 Jack Daniel's Grilling Sauce
3/4 cup Heinz Ketchup
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Mix chili powder, brown sugar and cayenne pepper in small bowl.
Mix Original grilling sauce along with ketchup in a small bowl. Add
orange juice, soy sauce and hot pepper sauce. Set aside.
Arrange chicken in single layer on a large baking sheet, season with
salt and pepper. Sprinkle chili rub generously on both sides of
chicken; press to adhere. Let stand at room temperature for one
hour.
Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken, skin side down, on
grill rack away from direct heat. Cover grill and cook chicken until
cooked through, turning every 5 minutes and covering grill, about 35
to 40 minutes. (Chili rub will slightly burn.) Serve chicken hot,
passing the Defense Dip separately.
