Sweet Pepper Sauce (see below)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 clove garlic -- finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 pounds whole broiler-fryer chicken -- (3 to 3 1/2-pounds)

SWEET PEPPER SAUCE
2 medium red bell peppers
12 fresh basil leaves -- (12 to 15)
OR
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
8 whole Kalamata or ripe olives -- pitted
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon balsamic or cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Prepare Sweet Pepper Sauce.

Mix vinegar, water, margarine, garlic and pepper in small 1-quart

Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for
indirect heat.

Fold wings of chicken across back with tips touching. Tie or skewer
drumsticks to tail. Brush chicken with vinegar mixture. Insert barbecue

is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Discard any remaining
vinegar mixture. Yield: 6 servings.
