    List of Ingredients




    ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
    2 teaspoons (freshly ground) pepper
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    ¼ teaspoon allspice
    ¼ teaspoon onion powder
    ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    1½ teaspoons salt
    Juice of 1 lemon
    ½ cup apple cider vinegar (or vinegar of choice)
    1 whole chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces (cut breast in quarters, if desired)

    Recipe



    Combine Worcestershire, pepper, sugar, allspice, onion and garlic powders, salt, lemon juice and vinegar with 1 cup water. Stir to dissolve salt and sugar. Put chicken pieces into a shallow dish or in a "zipper-style" plastic bag with the marinade. Allow it to marinate 30 minutes or so.

    Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on a rack, and place on a baking sheet. Pour in enough of the marinade so it measures ¼ to ½ inch. Cook the chicken 20 minutes or until the breast is cooked through (if you've quartered the breast, or if the pieces are small, they should be done). Cook the dark meat 5 to 10 more minutes. Differences in the size of the chicken pieces will affect the total length of time they cook.

    The juices in the bottom of the pan will concentrate and can be used as a "sauce" on the chicken. At that oven temperature, the pan liquid may threaten to burn in the corners. Just tip the pan back and forth to loosen up the corners, or pour a little water into the corners.

    To cook on a grill: On a charcoal grill with a cover, light coals on one side of the grill until they are hot. On a gas grill, heat one side on high and leave the other side cool.

    When the chicken has marinated, shake off excess liquid. Place the pieces on the cool side of the grill, skin side up. Cover, and grill 20 minutes. Turn the chicken over, brush it with some marinade, cover the grill and cook 10 minutes more. Smaller chicken pieces should be cooked through at this point. Uncover the chicken, move it over direct heat and cook 10 minutes more, turning occasionally. Don't brush it with marinade the last 10 minutes.

    Serves 4, probably with leftovers.
