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 |
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion) |
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves) |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1 cup tomato paste (10 ounces) |
1 cup cider vinegar |
1 cup honey |
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce |
1 cup dijon mustard |
1/2 cup soy sauce |
1 cup hoisin sauce |
2 tablespoons chili powder |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. BARBEQUE SAUCE
2. 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.
3. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes.
4. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes.
5. CHICKEN
6. Marinate the chickens in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
7. Heat the coals in a charcoal grill. (OR gas grill to medium)
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Brush with the marinade, as needed.
11. The chicken quarters are done when you insert a knife between a leg and thigh and the juices run clear.
12. Discard any unused marinade.
13. Serve with reserved barbecue sauce on the side.
