Sweet Glazed Butterflied Grilled Chicken
- One 5- to 7-pound roaster chicken, butterflied
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Neutral oil, for oiling grill grates
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons grated onion
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp or finely minced
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
- For the chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Rest on the counter for 2 hours to come to room temperature.
- Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Grill the chicken over indirect heat, rotating occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 50 minutes.
- For the glaze: While the chicken is grilling, melt the butter in a small pot.
- Add the onion, allspice, a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Cook until the onion is tender, then add the garlic and cook until tender but not browned.
- Add the brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and hot sauce.
- Reduce about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- When the chicken is nearly cooked through, brush on the glaze.
- Cover the grill and continue to cook until the glaze begins to color and the chicken is done.
- Cover the chicken loosely with foil and rest for 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Then cut into sections and serve.
