Chili Rub
3/4 cup chili powder
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Mop Sauce
1 cup hickory barbecue sauce
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
2 whole chickens, quartered (backbones discarded - 3/12 pounds each)

For chili rub: Mix all ingredients in bowl. For mop sauce: mix all sauce ingredients in medium bowl.
2
Arrange chicken in single layer on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle chili rub generously on both sides of chicken; press to adhere. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
3
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). When coals are white, drain chips if using, and scatter over coals. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill back away from direct heat. Cover grill and cook chicken until cooked through, turning every 5 minutes and covering grill, about 35 to 40 minutes (chili rub may look slightly burned). Serve hot or warm, passing mop sauce separately.
