1 Tblsp Worchesrshire Sauce
1 Tblsp Paprika

2 Tblsp Tabasco hot sauce (1 for less spicy or 3 if you like to kick it up a notch)

Bring these ingredients to a boil. Just as it starts to boil remove from heat immediatley and stir to blend together. Place chicken pieces on grill INDIRECT HEAT and baste chicken with the mmixture about every 20 minutes or so and cook until done.

This has always been my favorite grilled chicken recipe so give it a try and let me know what you think. ENJOY!

thanks will try this weekend

I haven't tried this with chicken yet, but it sure makes a good smoked pheasant so I bet it would work well with yard bird as well.

I soak the bird overnight in a brine mixture, take it out and pat it dry. Then I sprinkle on some head country or cajun seasoning. I then lay 4-6 pieces of bacon over the bird and wrap it in foil. Put it in the smoker for 4-6 hours at 250-275. Comes out nice & juicy.

16 oz. Zesty Italian Dressing (cheap brand will do)
2 oz. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbs of "Durkee" Grill Creations Smokey Mesquite seasoning

Mix the 3 ingredients in the dressing bottle vigorously. (I keep an empty 32 oz dressing bottle in the frige for mixing). Pour in bowl, and put either chicken strips or boneless/skinless breasts in, taking a fork and perforating the dickens out of the chicken while submerged in brine. Let marinade 4 hours to overnight (submerged in brine).....the longer the better. Grill indirect heat on charcoal grill (flipping chicken & basting the brine on them every 15 minuntes or so) till done. Good Stuff.....Tender!!
