This is from the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. (Her photo, too). Love this. I have made it with and without the hoisin sauce, and it's great either way. Best if chicken marinates overnight.
Ingredients
- BARBEQUE SAUCE shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves) shopping list
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil shopping list
- 1 cup tomato paste (10 ounces) shopping list
- 1 cup cider vinegar shopping list
- 1 cup honey shopping list
- 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce shopping list
- 1 cup Dijon mustard shopping list
- 1/2 cup soy sauce shopping list
- 1 cup hoisin sauce shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chili powder shopping list
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin shopping list
- 1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes shopping list
How to make it
- BARBEQUE SAUCE
- 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.
- CHICKEN
- 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. (OR gas grill to medium)
- 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 reserved barbecue sauce on the side.
