I found this gem in Southern Cooking Magazine.  It's  fantastic!

Recipe by Larry Elder, Charlotte, North Carolina, Southern Living, MARCH 2005


Ingredients

  • 1  cups  cider vinegar
  • 1/4  cup  firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4  cup  vegetable oil

  • 4  teaspoons  salt
  • 2  teaspoons  pepper
  • 2  (2 1/2- to 3-pound) cut-up whole chickens*

Preparation

Stir together first 6 ingredients until blended.
Place half each of vinegar mixture and chicken in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; seal. Repeat procedure with remaining vinegar mixture and chicken, placing in a separate zip-top plastic freezer bag. Chill chicken at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade.
Grill chicken, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 35 to 40 minutes or until done, turning occasionally.
*8 skinned and boned chicken breast halves and 8 skinned and boned chicken thighs may be substituted for whole chickens. Chill in marinade at least 1 to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
