Contest-Winning Barbecued Chicken

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Grill: 40 min. YIELD: 8 servings.
When our neighborhood has a cookout, I always take along this chicken and watch it quickly disappear! My family loves this recipe because of the zesty seasoning blend and no-fuss barbecue sauce. —Linda Scott, Hahira, Georgia
