Steps:

• Marinate the chickens in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Heat the coals in a charcoal grill. Spread the bottom of the grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the chicken quarters on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 45 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed. The chicken quarters are done when you insert a knife between a leg and thigh and the juices run clear. Discard any unused marinade.
• Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
• Yield: 1 1/2 quarts

Steps:

• For the brine, in a mixing bowl combine the water, salt, sugar, garlic, and thyme. Transfer the brine to a 2-gallon sized re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, close the bag and refrigerate 2 hours (if you've only got 15 minutes, that's fine) to allow the salt and seasonings to penetrate the chicken.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the bunch of thyme and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook slowly 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly without coloring for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Once the sauce is done cooking, remove about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and reserve for serving along side the chicken at the table. The rest of the barbecue sauce will be used for basing the legs.
• Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
• Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue to a medium heat. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface. Take the chicken out of the brine, pat it dry on paper towels. Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook, turn once mid-way, and cook for a total of 10 minutes. Transfer the grill marked chicken to a cookie sheet and then place in the oven. Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and then brush liberally, coating every inch of the legs with the barbecue sauce and then return to the oven for 25 to 30 more minutes, basting the chicken for a second time half way through remaining cooking time. Serve with extra sauce.

Steps:

• Make Sauce: In a small saucepan combine ketchup, cider vinegar, horseradish, brown sugar, minced garlic, thyme and black pepper; whisk together to mix ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium/low heat. Cook about five minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
• Brush chicken breasts with sauce (both sides) and place in foil lined pan.
• Broil or grill basting with remaining sauce until no longer pink in centre. Allow to stand five minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with garlic powder. Cover and bake 1 hour at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove baking dish from oven and drain any fat from dish. Pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken and bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the water, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt, mustard powder, and chili powder. Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes.
• Place the chicken thighs into an oblong baking dish, and pour the sauce over them. Cover tightly.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and bake for one hour. Remove cover, stir and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. If you have a high-output grill, heat just one side. If using charcoal, prepare a hot two-level fire.
• Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
• Combine salt, pepper and cayenne. Sprinkle chicken with spice rub on all sides and rub in well.
• Dip a wad of paper towel in oil and rub it over the grill grate. Place chicken pieces on the grill (if using a two-level grill, place chicken on cooler side). Cook about 30 minutes until golden-brown.
• In a medium saucepan, bring sauce ingredients to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes.
• Move chicken pieces over to the hotter part of the grill, turning the meatier side up, and placing thicker portions of the meat facing the heat source. Brush chicken with barbecue sauce. Cook 20 minutes, flipping and basting with sauce every 5 minutes. Place over low coals, or turn gas burner down to medium-low and cook 5 more minutes. Breast meat should be 165°F and thigh meat 175°F.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the oil, chili powder, paprika, sage, mustard, ginger, and cayenne until a paste is formed.
• Add the chicken pieces and rub the spice paste all over, including under the skin. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat the broiler. Place a rack about 9 inches from the broiler element. Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet or broiler pan. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side down. Broil for 10 minutes, turning the pan occasionally so the meat cooks evenly. Remove the pan from the oven and baste the meat all over with the sauce, turn the chicken pieces skin side-up and broil, basting and turning the pan occasionally, until cooked through and crispy and the sauce has browned lightly, about 10 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more.
• Add the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until deep red in color and reduced to about 4 cups, about 25 minutes. Season with pepper. Use now, or store, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Arrange the grill grate approximately 25 to 27 inches from the charcoal. If it is too close, the chicken will cook too fast, burn and dry out.
• Pile the charcoal in a pyramid. Ignite the charcoal with lighter fluid. Once the top portion of the charcoal has turned white, spread the charcoal out evenly using a fireproof tool such as a metal rake or shovel.
• Place the chicken on the cooking surface. Approximately every 5 minutes, turn the chicken with tongs (being careful not to tear the skin) and baste with the sauce each time (for best results, used a clean shaker or squeeze bottle).
• Grill for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add charcoal, if necessary, to finish off (maybe 1/2 to 2/3 way through the cooking process) and be sure not to use lighter fluid, just sprinkle the new charcoal over the existing. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F.

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE MARINADE: In a medium bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients. Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally. Remove the breasts from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill, bone side down, over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 30 to 40 minutes. For crispier skin, grill the breasts, skin side down, over Direct Medium heat during the last 5 minutes of grilling time. Serve warm.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling.
