My Favorite Grilled Chicken Ever

Kelli Bhattacharjee gave me this recipe, which was a winner one year at Versailles Poultry Days. I made a few changes to it and this is hands down my favorite grilled chicken ever! I have literally been making it at least once a week since I've had the recipe. Try it. You won't be disappointed! This is absolutely delicious and makes a very moist and flavorful finished product.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 4 chicken leg quarters
• 2 sticks butter
• 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups white distilled vinegar
• 4 tablespoons garlic salt
• 2 (8 ounce) bone-in chicken breasts

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine vinegar, water, butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, pepper, sugar, and minced garlic in a pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let marinade cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Place chicken in a resealable zip-top bag. Pour marinade over chicken, seal, and marinate, 8 hours to overnight.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Transfer chicken pieces to the grill, shaking off excess marinade; discard remaining marinade.

Step 4

Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
