  • 2 chickens (quartered), or 8 leg quarters
  • * Salt (to taste)
  • * pepper (to taste)
  • 8 oz apple cider vinegar
  • 8 oz water or favorite fruit juice (apple, orange, pineapple, etc.)
  • * lemon pepper (read note below)

Note: Use only lemon pepper that has citric acid as the first or second ingredient. Real lemon rind will burn on the grill and get bitter.

  2. Light grill. Mix apple cider vinegar and water in equal proportions and put into a spray bottle.
  3. Put chicken on grill, skin side down. Do not put white meat on the grill until dark meat has been cooking for 20 minutes.
  4. After 20 minutes, put white meat on grill and continue as normal. Both white and dark meat will be done at the same time.
  5. Salt and pepper top side of chicken. Let cook about five minutes. Turn chicken and repeat salt and pepper.
  6. Continue to turn chicken at five minute intervals or less. After each turn, spray the chicken down with the apple cider vinegar mixture.
  7. When chicken is almost done (about 1½ hrs.)and about two more turnings are required , discontinue spraying with vinegar and shake the lemon pepper on the first side.
  8. Turn the chicken and shake lemon pepper on second side.
  9. After one or two minutes the chicken is ready for the plate.
