Steps:
- For the toast: In a large pan on medium heat, add the butter and garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the toast, soaking up a bit of the butter on one side, then flipping it to the other side to soak up the rest. Toast on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden toasty color, then flip and toast the other side as well. Remove the toast to a plate.
- For the sauce: In the same pan, add the butter, onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the ketchup, brown sugar, chicken stock, beer, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, chile flakes and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the sugar is completely dissolved, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the sauce and stir to coat and re-heat. Spoon over the toast and serve.
BARBECUED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Marinate the chickens in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Heat the coals in a charcoal grill. Spread the bottom of the grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the chicken quarters on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 45 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed. The chicken quarters are done when you insert a knife between a leg and thigh and the juices run clear. Discard any unused marinade.
- Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
- In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken: Choose chicken breasts or thighs that are fresh and free of any blemishes.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating helps tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken: Basting the chicken with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter and olive oil will help keep it moist.
- Use a meat thermometer: Cooking the chicken to the proper internal temperature is essential for safety and quality. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest: Before slicing and serving the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Barbecued chicken on garlic toast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and succulent chicken dish that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
