I love these new Cowboy brand garlic, onion grilling coals. It's smells so good and the meat has perfectly smoked flavor.

Time 10h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken leg quarters
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 small onion diced
4 clove garlic minced
1 can(s) beer
1 c ketchup
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
1/4 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dry mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place oil in saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Cook until onion is softened. Add the beer, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, chili powder, and dry mustard. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes until reduced to about 2 cups. Let cool.
  • 2. Place the chicken leg quarters in the marinade and let marinate 8 hours or overnight.
  • 3. Prepare the Grill for indirect heat. Place a large foil pan of water on one side of the Grill. Add the coals around the other side and get them really hot. if using a gas grille turn the burner to high. Remove the chicken and place over the pan of water.
  • 4. Brush with the marinade and close the lid. Turn and baste every 20 minutes. It should take about an hour and a half to cook the chicken to internal temp of 165. Depends on the size of your chicken and how hot your grille is
  • 5. Towards the end of cooking place the chicken directly over the coals to get the charred browning on the outside.
