BARBECUED CHOPPED CHICKEN

Steps:

• To prepare the sauce, melt the butter with the oil in a straight-side skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until lightly browned. Stir in remaining ingredients, including lemon rinds, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat and discard rinds. For a very smooth sauce, puree in blender or food processor.
• Prepare grill.
• In a large bowl combine chicken and 1 quart of the barbecue sauce. Rub sauce all over chicken, coating well.
• Grill 15 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter and set aside until cool enough to handle. Pull chicken from bones in bite-size pieces. Discard bones. (Skin may be saved if you want a very rich sauce. Set it aside.)
• In a food processor or blender, puree the onion. (If you want to use the chicken skin, puree with the onion.) Warm a large straight-side skillet over medium heat, add the oil, and when hot, add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add vinegar, salt, pepper, chili powder and the remaining 1 1/2 quarts of barbecue sauce. Stir well; add the cooked chicken and simmer on low heat 30 minutes.

BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate the chickens in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Heat the coals in a charcoal grill. Spread the bottom of the grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the chicken quarters on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 45 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed. The chicken quarters are done when you insert a knife between a leg and thigh and the juices run clear. Discard any unused marinade. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
