Grilled Chicken Quarters

[mattrd]

I was thinking about buying some chicken quarters for the grill. First time doing this. Just wondering if anyone has some good recipes or tricks for doing this?

I like to grill chicken using indirect heat.

I'll put a whole chicken on a beer can stand or use sectioned chickens over the center burner but only light the left and right burners and put a drip pan under the chicken to keep grease in the grill to a minimum.

Use either a good dry chicken rub 8 hours ahead of time or marinate in 2/5 italian dressing, 2/5 franks hotsauce 1/5 bourbon for 8 hours prior to cooking.

Then grill until 175-180 degrees using indirect heat.

one thing i have been doing with chicken to make it more moist is to soak the chicken in buttermilk before grilling. i poke the parts with a fork and let sit overnight. i then grill them on in-direct heat turning occationaly after putting my favorite rub on them. good luck.

Just made some last night. I marinate them in LaChoy teriyaki Stir fry/marinade that I found....it's really thick, so I add orange juice to thin it out, and soak the chicken in this for about 6-8 hours.

I spray the chicky with Pam, and grill on the top rack over apple wood chips. Halfway through cooking, turn and brush on the full strength, thick marinade until it glazes over.

Mix that teriyaki with a little yellow mustard and sesame seed oil and a bit of water to thin it down. Excellent marinade for chicken.

cant go wrong with mustard. seems to be a favorite "secret" ingrediant in a lot of reciepies. used a lot more and more now and for a good reason. kind of like a lot of things go great with bacon. good luck.

Now that sounds good...!!! How's things in Centerville? Fished up there this winter...Mike "Gio" of the AmFam on your main street is a friend of mine...

The lake must have gotten hit especially hard this winter as my usual spots are not producing the size they produced last year. I suppose it might have something to do with the weather and high water as well.

I don't know Mike, but I do live right near that little strip mall. We go to the liquor store in that mall all the time. The guy who owns it is a pretty good guy and his prices are at or below the bigger places. He really seems to run his business the right way getting to know the customers and willing to special order stuff all the time. Hey, I don't think I've ever seen him let a lady carry out her own bags!

Speaking of mustard, Awhile back Mrs. Tacklejunkie and I decided to go have a pizza at Old Chicago. I don't remember what kind of pizza we ordered but it had mustard on it. I've never heard of mustard on a pizza but it was superb!!!!

Almost forgot...another one of my favorites on chicken is mixing equal parts fresh orange juice and apricot jam, makes a tangy, sweet glaze on the chicken. You can also throw in some honey, too.
