Tropical Grilled Chicken

Hot summer days and the grill go hand and hand, IMO. And being it is grilling season I thought I would try a new recipe for chicken.
Changing a few things with the original recipe, that I found on the TOH, I thought I would give it a try even though I am not a fan of chicken. Let me tell you, this makes the best grilled chicken I have ever had. I have also  made this recipe  using two leg quarters (2 legs and 2 thighs) and cut the recipe in HALF. MMmmmmm

Tropical grilled chicken

1/2 cup  soy sauce

1/3 cup canola oil

1/4 cup water

2 TBL. dried minced onion

1 TBL sugar

1 tsp dried minced garlic

1 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

2 broiler/fryer chickens (3 to 4 pounds each), quartered

In a small bowl, combine first 9 ingredients. Pour  marinade into a large resealable plastic bag reserving some for basting. Add chicken; seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

Prepare grill for indirect heat. Place on grill skin side up   over indirect medium heat, lid closed, 45-60 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°, turning frequently. 

 Baste the chicken the last 20 minutes or so. I didn't do this but can see it really giving the chicken an extra burst of flavor.

Yield: 8 servings.
