I grill everything—veggies, oxtail, tofu. This chicken is our favorite. I keep a ready supply of sauce and rub, so prep couldn't be easier. —Jerry Rosiek, Eugene, Oregon

Ingredients

6 chicken leg quarters
RUB:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
Dash cayenne pepper, optional

Directions

Pat chicken dry. Combine rub ingredients. Rub over chicken pieces; refrigerate, covered, in a shallow dish 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sauce ingredients, adding cayenne if desired. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to blend, 8-10 minutes.
On an oiled grill rack, grill chicken, covered, over indirect medium heat, turning frequently, until a thermometer reads 165°, 35-45 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Brush chicken with sauce, reserving 1/2 cup. Cook, covered, until chicken pieces register 170°-175°, 4-6 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.

Test Kitchen Tips

To cook indoors, preheat oven to 450°. Place prepared chicken in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; bake until a thermometer reads 165°, about 25 minutes. Brush with sauce, reserving 1/2 cup. Bake until chicken pieces register 170°, about 5 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.
