DRIVE YOUR NEIGHBORS NUTS GRILLED CHICKEN Recipe By: Terry Ward Servings : 8
Cut chickens in quarters, leave the skin on.
MIX TOGETHER: 1/4 cup sugar 1 tbsp salt 2 tbsp mild chili powder 2 tbsp hot chili powder ( I used Gebherts) 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp Mexican oregano 1 tsp coriander 2 tsp dry mustard 1 1/2 tbsp minced lemon zest ( I used dried-purchased) 1 1/2 tsp onion salt 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp fresh ground pepper
Loosen the skin on the chicken pieces, and put a generous amount of the combined spices under the skin. Then sprinkle generous all over the chicken, both sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, the longer the better.
WHEN READY TO COOK: Start up the grill, cook and smoke until done. Use a little pecan, apple or whatever wood to get the smoke going. The rub is enough to do 2 chickens. Also good on pork!
NOTES : Serve with Bourbon Baked Beans, boiled corn, and Baked Potatoes for a Crowd
