Ingredients

How to make it

  • For the spice rub: In a small, resealable plastic food container, combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
  • For the chicken: Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and place in a large baking dish. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the spice rub for the barbecue sauce and spread the remaining rub over the chicken pieces. Let stand at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • For the barbecue sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeño chili pepper and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons spice rub and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, reduce the heat to medium and cook, with bubbles just breaking the surface, for 15 minutes. If not using right away, let cool, cover and refrigerate.
  • When ready to cook, prepare the grill. If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to medium. If using a charcoal grill, start the charcoal or wood briquettes. When the briquettes are ready, distribute them evenly under the cooking area for direct heat. Lightly oil the grate.
  • Place the chicken pieces on the grill with the bone side down. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning frequently, until the chicken is cooked through (the breast meat will cook faster than the dark meat). Baste the chicken with some of the barbecue sauce and cook 5 more minutes, turning each piece after basting. Serve hot or warm, with additional sauce at the table.
