This recipe comes from Kelly Liken of Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail, CO. Don't forget to pack a heatproof brush for basting the chicken. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups ketchup |
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. hot sauce such as tabasco |
2 tablespoons dark molasses |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons whiskey such as jack daniel's |
2 tablespoons worcestershire |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1 pound cabbage, cut into shreds |
1/4 red onion, cut into long slivers |
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips |
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
6 chicken legs with thighs attached or small bone-in breast halves (3 3/4 lbs. total) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. AT HOME
2. Make sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cover and simmer 45 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally with a long spoon (sauce spatters). Add a little water if sauce gets too thick to pour. Let cool, then transfer to a plastic container and chill up to 1 week.
3. Make slaw: Toss vegetables in a large bowl to blend. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Put remaining ingredients in a small container with a tight-fitting lid. Chill slaw and dressing up to 2 days.
4. Prepare chicken: In a large bowl, coat chicken in oil; pack in a resealable plastic bag and chill up to 2 days, or freeze.

6. Build a charcoal or wood fire in a grill and let burn to medium (350° to 450°; you can hold your hand 5 in. above cooking grate only 5 to 7 seconds). Bring salad dressing to room temperature. Set aside 1/2 cup sauce.
7. Grill chicken until browned all over, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Turn again, generously brush tops with some of remaining sauce, and cook a few minutes; repeat turning and brushing 2 more times, until chicken is well-browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes total.
8. Toss slaw and dressing in a large bowl and serve with chicken and reserved sauce.
