Servings: 6

Ingredients

Ground black pepper
1 teaspoon
Poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Cider vinegar
1/2 cup
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup
Eggs
2, beaten
Whole chicken (cut into pieces)
4 pounds

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the vegetable oil, cider vinegar, salt, poultry seasoning, and ground black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C).
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, then turn the chicken over, basting frequently with the reserved marinade. Continue grilling for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy and flavorful chicken.
