- Two 3 1/2-pound chickens, quartered and backbones discarded
Chili Rub:
- 3/4 cup chili powder
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Defense Dip:
- 1 cup Original #7 Jack Daniel's Grilling Sauce
- 3/4 cup Heinz Ketchup
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

Mix chili powder, brown sugar and cayenne pepper in small bowl.
Mix Original grilling sauce along with ketchup in a small bowl. Add orange juice, soy sauce and hot pepper sauce. Set aside.
Arrange chicken in single layer on a large baking sheet, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle chili rub generously on both sides of chicken; press to adhere. Let stand at room temperature for one hour.
Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill rack away from direct heat. Cover grill and cook chicken until cooked through, turning every 5 minutes and covering grill, about 35 to 40 minutes. (Chili rub will slightly burn.) Serve chicken hot, passing the Defense Dip separately. Serves 6.
