| 1/2 cupveg oil | |
| 1/4 cupWorcestershire Sauce | |

Roadside Chicken Preparation
Mix/shake till well dissolved. I put mine in a old worcestershire bottle with the shaker top. You can marrinate the chicken in the sauce for up to 2-8 hrs before cooking. If so discard marinade and make fresh for the cooking sauce. I apply the sauce every 5 min to both sides and turn every 5-10 min. Apply one final coating 5 min before removing from the grill. You can't put too much sauce on while grilling. It will build up a nice layer of flavors. I use the kettle but i think it would do well on the WSM (Larry used it) with no water pan and a high heat cook. I usally add one small piece of apple wood while grilling also. Hope you like it. Enjoy
EDIT: If you are going to marinate the chicken first, then leave the oil out for the marinade proccess. Make up a fresh batch for basting the chicken with the oil in the sauce.
Grove Notes: First made 8/30/09 - The recipe as written is for pieces. I used it on a spatchcocked chicken (butterflied) so I doubled the amounts, reserving 1 cup as a baste. I substituted cider vinegar for white vinegar and oregano for celery salt. Marinated the chicken for 6 hours. Cooked the bird on the Big Green Egg smoker/grill at 350f over direct heat skin side down for 5 minutes. Removed from the grill, switched to indirect heat and cooked at 350 until the bird hit 175f internal temp in the thigh or 160 in the breast. That took about 1 1/2 hours. I sprinkled with the reserved baste sauce about every 20-30 minutes. Served with a chili lime butter corn on the cob and mexican rice.

Roadside Chicken Reviews
Letting the bird rest for 10 minutes before cutting into pieces is a necessary part of the process.

A remote probe thermometer is a great tool! For perfect chicken, I stick the probe deep in the thigh as pictured and cook to 175f internal temp.

Breast cut open to show that it's all the way cooked through yet juicy as can be.
