2 cups water
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon yellow food coloring
1 whole frying chicken with skin, halved or quartered
1. In a blender, combine the water, salt, pepper, garlic and food coloring. Blend on high speed for 15 seconds.
2. Marinate the chicken in the liquid in a bowl or pan for 45 minutes. Turn and marinate for 30 minutes more.
3. Preheat a clean barbecue to medium-low grilling heat.
4. Cook the chicken on the open grill for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Be sure the flames
are not scorching the chicken, or the skin may turn black before the center is done. Lower the heat if necessary. (If you do
not have a gas grill; you can spray a little water on the charcoal to keep the flames at bay.) Turn the chicken often as it cooks.
5. Cut the chicken into 8 pieces, with a large, sharp knife, cutting the breast in half and cutting the thighs from the legs.
