Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grates
1 package cut-up whole chicken (about 3 pounds), 8 pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Memphis-Style Barbecue Sauce
4 plum tomatoes, sliced
Macaroni Salad

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-low; lightly oil grates. Season chicken with salt and pepper; grill, turning as necessary, until lightly charred and almost cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Divide sauce between 2 bowls; one for basting and one for serving. Continue cooking chicken, brushing occasionally with sauce, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 5 to 10 minutes. Discard basting sauce.
  • Drizzle tomatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with reserved sauce, macaroni salad, and tomatoes.
