Instructions for Glazed Chicken

  1. Blend rub ingredients; black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper; and rub generously under the skin of each chicken piece. Let chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, while preparing your grill for medium high heat.
  2. Prepare sauce, by melting butter and cooking minced onions until translucent. Once translucent, blend in the ketchup, minced garlic, brown sugar, molasses, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer this mixture, to infuse for 10 – 15 minutes.
  3. After the sauce has infused, carefully add the bourbon and orange liqueur, stirring until just heated through. About 1 – 2 minutes.
  4. Remove the sauce and place chicken on the grill. Grill for 25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so. Baste all chicken well with the glaze and allow them to cook for another 5 – 10 minutes, reserving the rest of the glaze for the table.
  5. When the glaze has caramelized on the chicken, remove chicken, allow it to rest for 5 – 10 minutes, serve, and ENJOY!
