THE CHICKEN!
Marinade 6 chicken quarters about 12 hours. In your Weber Kettle, seperate your coals and place a drip pan in between (about 28 coals on each side). Brown chicken pieces directly over coals, about three minutes per side, then place over drip pan. Cover, and bake about 40 min, basting every 5 min for the last 20.
