 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Chili Rub
      3/4  cup           chili powder (about 3 1/2 ounces)
    3      tablespoons   brown sugar
    2      teaspoons     cayenne pepper
                         Mop
    1      cup           hickory barbecue sauce
      3/4  cup           ketchup
      1/3  cup           orange juice
    1      tablespoon    soy sauce
    1      teaspoon      hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
                         Everything Else
    2      3 1/2 pound   chickens -- quartered,
                         backbones discarded
    3      cups          mesquite wood chips -- soaked in cold
                         water 1 hour (optional)
 
 For Chili Rub: Mix all ingredients in bowl.
 For Mop: mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl.
 Arrange chicken in single layer on 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.
 Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). When coals are white, drain chips, if
 using, and scatter over coals. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill rack
 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 separately.

 NOTES :  Dry-rubbed before grilling, the delicious bird is then generously
 drizzled with a zesty sauce at the table-twice the firepower for twice the fun.
