Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 8 large garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
• 4 bay leaves, crumbled
• 2 whole cut-up chickens, each cut into 8 pieces and breasts halved
• Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

1. In a blender, puree the onion, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, bay leaves and 4 tsp pepper. Place the chicken in a large container with a lid or in a large Ziploc bag. Add the marinade. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 12 to 24 hours.

2. Prepare a grill for medium heat. Scrub the grill rack.

3. Place the chicken on the hot side of the grill. Cook, turning once, until the skin is charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken to the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes for the wings and about 25 minutes for the remaining pieces. Transfer to a platter. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.
