{"0":"Marinade:","1":"Add all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and simmer for about ten minutes. Transfer the marinade to a bowl to cool - refrigerate if you are in a hurry.","2":"Place chicken halves in a large (gallon) ziploc bag and pour marinade over chicken in bag. Zip closed and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Turn bag a few times to distribute marinade evenly.","4":"Grilling:","5":"Start your fire. When the coals are red and no longer flaming, place the chicken meat side down, skin side up on the sides of grill (where the heat is not as intense) and lay a couple of sheets of foil on chicken; on foil lay a couple (1 for each chicken half) of bricks. Close the lid and cook for 30 min., then turn chicken over on skin side. It should be safe to use the middle of grill now, but use your judgment. Lay the foil and bricks again on chicken and cook for about 15 min. The skin should be nicely browned.","7":"Serve with rice, black beans, plantains, green salsa or your favorite side side and garnish."}
