Chicken Barbecue from South Carolina & Backyard Hens in Sag Harbor

Chicken Barbecue from South Carolina & Backyard Hens in Sag Harbor

We've had several friends visit us from the city and beyond this past week, including Chris's buddy from college, Mark.  Not only did Mark assemble our new grill but he also christened it with a South Carolina-style barbecued Browder's chicken.  It was delicious and we are including this secret recipe, handed down to Mark 30 years ago, since it would be perfect to serve at your 4th of July party:
