Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 -2 chicken, cut into pieces
• 1 lb margarine
• 1/2 cup dried parsley flakes
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon basil
• 1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced onion

Recipe

• 1 prepare the chicken as indicated then wash in cold water and dry with paper towels.
• 2 in medium size saucepan, melt the margarine over a medium low heat, adding all of the other ingredients.
• 3 the reason for using margarine instead of butter is to reduce the burning while cooking.
• 4 when the mixture has heated through, let the mixture set awhile to let the flavors “marry”.
• 5 make sure your charcoal is gray- before starting to grill.
• 6 one other implement is needed-- a bottle of water to douse the flames (and there will be flames).
• 7 dip each piece of chicken into the sauce until covered than place on the grill about 10 inches from the coal.
• 8 you will have flame-ups, but don’t worry about it, that is normal-just keep dousing with water and you will have lots of smoke.
• 9 the smoke is the real secret to the great flavor.
• 10 let the chicken cook for about 45 minutes, turning and dipping in the sauce about every 5 minutes or so.
• 11 this recipe requires constant attention- don’t walk away.
