  • Chicken Rub (Use this all)
  • 1 T brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 T paprika
  • 1 t smoked paprika
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • 1 T black pepper
  • Old Fashion Bbq Sauce
  • 6 T ketchup
  • 2 T apple cider vinegar
  • 2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 T worcestershire
  • 6 T brown sugar
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 t garlic powder
  • 1 t fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 t dry mustard
  • 1 t smoked paprika

  • 1/2 t celery seed (the secret ingredient)
  • 4 T melted butter
  • 1 t salt

Preparation

Step 1

Chicken Rub (Use this all)

Mix together and rub into chicken. Get it all over. Inside and out. Upside and downside. Let it sit all day if you can-or at least an hour.

Old Fashion Bbq Sauce
Mix together and let sit to let flavors meld. (I have seen many recipes that first suggest sauteing onions and celery in the butter. This is good, but not necessary unless you really love onions.) Or love extra work!

Preheat grill to medium. Place chicken on grill. Cook low and slow. Total cooking time is about one hour. Drink your beer now. You can have the second with dinner. Turn as needed. Do not brush with sauce until chicken is almost cooked through.Brush with sauce, shut grill lid, and let it kind of melt in. This can take about 5 minutes. Then turn over and do the other side. Serve leftover sauce on the side.
White meat usually cooks the fastest. If this happens, place it on the grill side that is turned off, to keep it warm.
