Roadside Chicken

Going thru the freezer yesterday, I came across three chicks that needed to be eaten. Since reading about it on a BBQ forum, I’ve been wanting to try Roadside Chicken (I have no idea where the name comes from). The recipe, the pictures and the reviews were all great, so we whipped up a batch today using 1½ chicks, sided with some mac & cheese (a granddaughter favorite) and salad with bleu cheese. I think I could almost eat grilled chicken, mac, and blue cheese every other day. I used the following recipe:

ROADSIDE CHICKEN
BrianS – BBQ Central Forum

1 cup White vinegar
½ cup Veg oil
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS Sea or Kosher salt
1 TBS White sugar
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp White pepper
½ tsp Celery salt

Mix/shake till well dissolved. You can marinate the chicken in the sauce for up to 2 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 min. Apply one final coating 5 min before removing from the grill. You can't put too much sauce on while grilling.

And Bev made the mac & cheese from this one:

2. Cook elbow macaroni noodles according to pkg directions. Drain.
3. Place cooked elbow macaroni in turkey-sized roasting pan(if making the full recipe) and pour cheese over. Mix well. Top with 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle top with paprika.
4. Bake at 350 until bubbly, about one hour.

The other chicken and a half was grilled with olive oil and a little Wolfe citrus for making chicken salad.

Everyone loved the mac and 4 out of 5 liked the tang of the chicken, but my sister in law thought she liked regular grilled chicken best. Bev and I would definately cook the chicken again.
