Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the whole chicken into 6-ounce pieces for even cooking.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup frozen limeade, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 small chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper.
  3. Stir the mixture well to create a smooth, aromatic sauce.
  4. Prepare your grill for indirect cooking, aiming for medium heat.
  5. Place the chicken pieces on the grill, skin side up, about 8 inches from the heat source.
  6. Grill for about 30 minutes, turning the pieces every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Brush the chicken generously with the prepared sauce.
  8. Continue grilling for another 20 minutes, turning and basting with sauce every 5 minutes.
  9. Remove chicken when it is fork-tender and the internal temperature reaches safe levels.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
