No brine, no rub, no smoker wood just salt and pepper and over the coals bone in legs and thighs. Had not grilled anything the way my dad used to until yesterday for a long time. Skin was crispy and chicken juicy. Basted it with Sweet Baby Rays vidalia onion sauce and have not had chicken like that since the last time the old man made it.

I don't use sauce when I use a rub. This was the old style of sauce basted at the end. Kind of a STL style I guess. Regardless it was some fine eats.

Sometimes simplicity is best 
My go to method is cut up chicken and/or leg quarters. Trim the excess fat and skin. Get the coals on the Weber to medium heat. Lightly pepper the chicken on both sides Put the chicken on for about 2-3 mins on each side then start the garlic-butter basting. I coat the each side every time I turn it and I turn it every 4-5 mins until you see the meat by the bone start to pull away, usually about 35-45 mins (depending upon fire heat, chicken piece sizes, lid on or off most of the time, etc...). The chicken on the inside is moist and cooked to perfection. The skin is crispy but not burnt and has a garlic butter flavor that will make you want to smack your mama!!
The garlic butter baste is just a stick of butter, a stick of margarine (cooks better on the skin and less scorching, if you get a fire) and garlic powder to the extent you like it. Heat it on the stove top slowly (whilst coals are getting hot). The only time this is a biatch is when it is cold outside. It tends to want to go back to it's solid form...  Since I grille 12 months a year, I tend to reserve this method for warm weather, where I can leave the garlic butter baste outside for the whole process...
Try it sometime...

That is the way my dad used to do them. It is really good. I'll have to do that method soon.

My old man never put a drop of BBQ sauce on a piece of chicken in his life. He did the garlic-butter baste or he gave it to mom to fry in the kitchen...

For some strange reason, I get the hankerin' for sauce on a pork steak. It happens about once a year, and even then it can't be that sweet nasty chit.
The other 364 days a year, bb-q sauce is in the same category as steak sauce and tartar sauce. If the meat needs it, it ain't worth a chit to be begin with.
And no, I don't put sauce on ribs either.

I hear you on the sauce and I don't use it when I use a rub or smoke meat. The wimmens in this family likes the sweet sauce and if make it from scratch have to heap in the brown sugar. For my likes a Carolina sauce is the best especially on pulled pork. Its all a matter of individual taste. PS Greg, can you email me the smoked trout spread recipe. I promise I won't put bbq sauce, steak sauce or tartar sauce in it.

Haus, I guess you save all of your staunch opinions for beer, huh ? 
My opinion is just that........... and everyone is entitled to it.
Dave, you know damn good and well I don't have a recipe for the trout dip. ( or for 99 % of the other chit I cook )
I'll send you what I think I remember putting in there.

Thanks Greg. I think I remember but want to be sure. My daughter who hated fish has now developed a taste for it and is dying to try the dip. I told her everyone says it would be a good sammich and she'll probably say the same thing. I am going to catch some trout for the smoker this weekend so want to be ready to make it. Best chit I ever ate on a fishing boat for sure. I will say you is one creative mofo when it comes to groceries, wild or domestic.

Rounds out !...........
Even folks who don't like trout tend to scarf the dip.
I remember Iifid dredging venison snack sticks through it and washing it down with a bloody Mary. Some negroes will go to great lengths to battle a hangover.

I helped make it one time and if I remember correctly, the recipe called for trout and some other stuff.

Ribs and pulled pork never get sauce. The brisket shouldn't either. I will lather a pork steak every damn time in some BBQ sauce. I love my pork steaks that way. Right or wrong.....they get sauce. Steak sauce isn't even bought in this house.....and only Yankees use tarter sauce. A full bottle of hot sauce is kept around for the fish though.

I want to know who in the fork eats pork steaks without BBQ sauce of some sort. By definition that is a piss poor cut of meat. I agree with not saucing good meats but pork steaks cry out to be basted in BBQ sauce.
The story as I have heard it (many times) is that the original Schnucks brothers came up with the idea of slicing pork shoulders into "steaks" and selling them that way. Otherwise, it had to be ground up or sold as pork shoulder for much less...
When I moved to Connecticut in the mid 80's, I asked the butcher for pork steaks and he looked at me and asked if I meant pork chops. Back then, I wasn't aware that the rest of the country had no idea what pork steaks were. When I explained them to him he asked, "And you eat that...?" They're not real big on BBQ in New England. But they do damn fine seafood...
