I put this marinade under the skin - just stick you finger in all the
spots where the neck & butt open.


Balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt , pepper, garlic powder, basil. Mix
together in bowl and then spoon under the skin, use remaining marinade
to coat outside of bird. Roast 1 1/4 hrs at 350. Tent and let rest for
15 min.
If you have a grill that will hold that temp do it on there,
preferably on oposite side from burners. Throw some wet wood chunks in
to make smoke. Simple and sooooo delicious.
