List of Ingredients
1 quart cider vinegar
1 can beer
1/2 cup Hot sauce
1 barbecue sauce
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons salt Recipe
This is not a finishing sauce. It is a "mop" to be applied during grilling.
Mix all ingredients to taste. Add more pepper, salt, or hot sauce to taste.
Split whole chickens and place on grill over indirect heat or in a smoker. Mop sauce onto chicken and cook over low heat for about 3 hours, basting hourly. Turn over and fill cavities with sauce and cook until done.
Bill Martin taught me this at the 2001 CTL Pool Party when we smoked chickens. This also works nicely with bone in chicken breasts smoked with hickory or mesquite.
Be careful not to cross contaminate by returning to mop or brush back to the liquid after it's touched raw or partially cooked chicken. To avoid this, I just put it in a squirt bottle, shake it each time and squirt some on each bird, skipping the physical contact all together.
