2 Mix mustard, vinegar, water and remaining 2 tablespoons of Applewood Rub in medium bowl until blended. Set aside.
3 Prepare grill for indirect medium-low heat (275°F to 300°F). Preheat grill by turning all burners to medium. Turn off burner(s) on one side. Place chicken on unlit side of grill. Close grill.
4 Grill 40 to 45 minutes or until internal temperature of thickest part of chicken is 165°F, turning occasionally. Move chicken to lit side of grill with skin-side down. Brush with mustard barbecue sauce. Turn lit side of grill to high.
