Larry Elder says Lexington, North Carolina, pork barbecue inspired him to create this spicy-hot vinegar marinade for chicken. Ingredients:
2 cups cider vinegar |
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
3 tablespoons dried crushed red pepper |
4 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons pepper |
2 (2 1/2- to 3-pound) cut-up whole chickens |
Directions:
1. Stir together first 6 ingredients until blended.
2. Place half each of vinegar mixture and chicken in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; seal. Repeat procedure with remaining vinegar mixture and chicken, placing in a separate zip-top plastic freezer bag. Chill chicken at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
3. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade.
4. Grill chicken, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 35 to 40 minutes or until done, turning occasionally.
5. *8 skinned and boned chicken breast halves and 8 skinned and boned chicken thighs may be substituted for whole chickens. Chill in marinade at least 1 to 2 hours, turning occasionally. Grill chicken, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until done.
