1
Make a thin marinade with the cider vinegar, chili spices, and sugar.
2
Pour marinade over chicken pieces and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. The tart vinegar taste will predominate.
3
Prepare a covered grill with low to moderate heat. Keep coals to one side, or place foil underneath chicken pieces to deflect heat and prevent dripping fat from flaring up.
4
Cook chicken for about 45 minutes, not placing it directly over coals.
5
Baste every ten minutes with more of the marinade.
6
Meanwhile, make the final glaze by combining molasses, honey, vinegar, spices of choice, salt, and pepper. The sweetness will predominate this time.
7
Brush glaze on the cooking chicken for the last ten minutes of cooking, being careful not to burn the glaze over the flame.
