Rub it with your favorite B-B-Q spice and put in a pan half covered with water that you have scented with liquid smoke cover with foil and cook it in an oven until done (a least 165 internal).
Cooling down is the tricky part. If you don't have commercial refrigeration I would not recommend it. Lay the chicken on a sheet pan in a single layer with plenty of space between the pieces so the cold air can circulate.
At the function place the chicken on the B-B-Q to grill and reheat again to an internal temp of 165. Only in the last 5 minutes should you brush with sauce.. If you do it earlier the sugar will burn.
