APPLE BUTTER-GLAZED CHICKEN



Apple Butter-Glazed Chicken image

We eat a lot of chicken and I'm always looking for new ways to fix it. My husband loves apple butter so when I found this recipe in The Chicago Tribune, I had to try it! The instructions are for cooking indoors, on a grill pan, but I cooked it outdoors on my gas grill.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup apple butter
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 medium onion, minced
1 broiler-fryer chickens, cut up or 5 bone-in skin-on chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the apple butter, mustard, butter, sugar, celery seed and onion to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; cool.
  • Place the chicken in a food storage bag. Pour half of the apple butter mixture over the chicken; reserve remaining mixture. Seal bag; smush around so the chicken gets thoroughly coated. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush off extra sauce from the chicken and discard. Cook chicken, in batches if necessary, turning occasionally, until browned, about 20 minutes. Continue cooking, brushing with reserved marinade, until chicken is cooked through, 15-25 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken pieces such as breasts, thighs, or drumsticks. Avoid using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, as they tend to dry out easily.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so take the time to make a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a simple marinade made with apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger, but you can adjust the ingredients to your liking.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and cook the chicken on the other side. If you're using a gas grill, turn off one of the burners and cook the chicken over the unlit burner.
  • Baste the chicken with the glaze frequently: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Use a pastry brush to baste the chicken with the glaze every 10-15 minutes.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer.

Conclusion:

Apple-glazed barbecued chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful apple cider vinegar-based marinade and then grilled over indirect heat until it is cooked through. The chicken is then basted with a sweet and tangy apple glaze. The result is a juicy, flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at your next cookout.
