Friend,
I’m sure you’re tired of receiving end-of-quarter fundraising emails, so today I’m sending you a step by step recipe for BBQ Chicken instead. If you’d like to donate, please click here. [[link removed]]
Ingredients:
4 bone in/skin on chicken leg quarters
Kosher salt
BBQ rub (or make your own!)
BBQ sauce (we like Sweet Baby Rays)
 1. 
    The
    night
    before,
    liberally
    sprinkle
    each
    chicken
    piece
    with
    kosher
    salt.
    Place
    chicken
    on
    a
    wire
    rack
    in
    a
    baking
    tray
    uncovered
    in
    the
    fridge
    overnight
    to
    dry-brine.
 2. 
    1
    hour
    before
    grilling,
    take
    chicken
    out.
    Lightly
    coat
    with
    your
    favorite
    BBQ
    rub.
    (or
    make
    your
    own
    with
    a
    little
    garlic
    powder,
    onion
    powder,
    paprika,
    and
    brown
    sugar)
    But
    make
    sure
    not
    to
    use
    something
    overly
    salty
    as
    the
    chicken
    already
    has
    been
    salted.
 3. 
    Fire
    up
    grill
    with
    two
    zones
    for
    direct
    and
    indirect
    cooking.
    Feel
    free
    to
    throw
    a
    chunk
    of
    hickory
    or
    apple
    wood
    directly
    on
    the
    coals
    to
    get
    a
    little
    more
    smoke
    flavor.
 4. 
    Once
    the
    grill
    stabilizes
    at
    around
    400°,
    place
    chicken
    skin
    side
    up
    on
    the
    indirect
    side.
    Cover
    and
    let
    cook
    for
    20
    minutes,
    then
    flip
    and
    cook
    for
    another
    20
    minutes.
 5. 
    After
    chicken
    has
    reached
    an
    internal
    temperature
    of
    at
    least
    175°,
    crisp
    skin
    by
    briefly
    placing
    skin
    side
    down
    over
    direct
    heat.
 6. 
    Return
    chicken
    to
    indirect
    heat,
    skin
    side
    up
    and
    brush
    with
    your
    favorite
    BBQ
    sauce.
    Let
    cook
    for
    another
    5
    or
    so
    minutes
    to
    set
    the
    sauce.
 7. 
    Rest
    for
    10
    minutes
    then
    dig
    in!
