        1 cup apple cider vinegar
         1/2 cup vegetable oil
         3 Tablespoons molasses
         1 Tablespoon salt
         1 teaspoon Tabasco 
 Bring all ingredients to a boil.  Pour over prepared chicken.
 Marinade several hours or overnight.  If using boneless, skinless
 chicken breast marinade at least 1/2 hour.  Grill till done basting
 occasionally.  I now use the chicken breast and grill on a gas grill
 for about 15-20 minutes, when using whole chicken it would take
 about 50 minutes using charcoal fire with racks about 10" from coals.  
 If using coals, keep water close at hand, as sauce will cause coals
 to flare.
 Over the years I have tried many sauces and marinades but always
 come back to this as my favorite.  Originally came from a local cookbook
 and was listed as Shaeffer's Bar-B-Que Chicken Sauce.  They are a local
 caterer in the Shenandoah Valley, VA with quite a reputation for BBQ 
 chicken and pork.  Not the sauce they use now.
