  • Total Time 35 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • Vegetable oil, for grates
    • 2 tablespoons paprika
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • 1 chicken (about 3 pounds), cut into 10 pieces
    • 2 cups Simple Barbecue Sauce (http://www.marthastewart.com/281122/simple-barbecue-sauce)
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium; lightly oil grates. In a small bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; sprinkle spice rub all over chicken. Reserve 1 cup barbecue sauce in a bowl for serving. Keep remaining sauce in another bowl for basting.
  2. Grill chicken, turning often, until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes (if browning too quickly, move to cooler part of grill). During final 5 minutes of cooking, baste chicken with barbecue sauce. Serve chicken with reserved sauce.

Cook's Note

To set up a grill with different levels of heat, place two thirds of hot coals on one side and a third on the other (the cooler part). For a gas grill, lower heat on one side.
