Honey Barbeque Chicken

My dad was in the military when I was growing up. As a result we lived everywhere! Living in the Southern States I grew an appreciation for Barbeque. You can find great Barbeque restaurants in a lot of places, my parents live in Utah now & they eat at Sugar House Barbeque, it is awesome. My mom & my Uncle Mike also make some fab Barbeque, but we will get to those at another time!
This is a Honey Barbeque Chicken Recipe, that is not a saucy as most, but eliminating all that sauce will seriously reduce the calories.


Honey Barbeque Chicken
1 2-1/2- to 3-pound broiler-fryer chicken, quartered
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram, crushed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1. Remove skin from chicken quarters. Stir together garlic, marjoram, mustard, salt, and pepper and rub mixture into chicken pieces. Combine honey and vinegar; lightly brush over entire surface of chicken pieces. Cover chicken and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan in a grill with a cover. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place chicken pieces, bone side down, on the grill rack over the drip pan. Cover and grill for 50 to 60 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear, adding more coals as necessary to maintain heat.
Option: If you don't have a grill you can do this in your oven. Heat the oven to 425, place in a roasting pan on the rack. Put a cup of water in the base of the pan. Cook for 60 minutes.

I would serve this with a red potato salad (mine by the way is awesome) and corn on the cob. If my mom is around you can get her to make you some corn bread, if not just buy a mix!
