Ingredients
- 3 1/2 – 4 pounds of chicken pieces
- 2 cups cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
- 3/4 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite variety)
Instructions
-
Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, combine cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
-
-
Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large plastic bag or a container suitable for marinating. Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the container and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. During this time, turn the chicken several times to ensure even marination.
-
Preheat Grill: Prior to grilling, preheat your grill to medium heat. Spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Grill Chicken: Once the grill is ready, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
-
Grill Chicken: Grill the chicken pieces over medium heat, covered, for approximately 30-45 minutes. Remember to turn the pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
-
Baste with BBQ Sauce: During the last 10 minutes of grilling time, generously baste the chicken pieces with your favorite barbecue sauce. This adds a delicious layer of flavor and helps to caramelize the exterior of the chicken.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), remove it from the grill. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices. Serve your $1.00 Tangy Chicken hot off the grill and enjoy the succulent, spicy flavors!
Tips and Variations
-
Adjust Spice Level: Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and hot pepper sauce according to your spice preference. You can increase or decrease the quantities to suit your taste buds.
-
Charcoal Grilling: For an authentic smoky flavor, consider using a charcoal grill instead of a gas grill. Simply arrange the charcoal for indirect grilling and follow the same cooking instructions.
-
Side Dish Suggestions: Pair your Tangy Chicken with refreshing sides like coleslaw, corn on the cob, or grilled vegetables for a complete BBQ feast.
-
Make-Ahead Option: You can marinate the chicken in advance and store it in the refrigerator overnight for even more intense flavor. This makes it perfect for easy weeknight dinners or weekend BBQ gatherings.
With its bold flavors and juicy texture, our $1.00 Tangy Chicken Recipe is bound to become a favorite at your table. Fire up the grill and treat yourself to this irresistible BBQ delight! 🍗🔥
