Grilled Chicken Thighs with Blackberry BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Olive oil
1/2 recipe Blackberry BBQ Sauce
3 pints fresh blackberries
12 ounces dark beer
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 habanero pepper, slit
1 tablespoon ground chipotle chile powder
1 tablespoon finely ground coffee
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the coriander, paprika and salt. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, season on both sides with the spice mixture and place in a gallon-size zip-top bag. Refrigerate for several hours but preferably overnight.
  • Prepare and preheat your lump charcoal grill to create two heat zones: high and low.
  • Brush the chicken thighs with olive oil and place them skin-side down on the hot side of the grill. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover and move the chicken to the low side of the grill, skin-side up. Cover and cook until the thighs reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour half the Blackberry BBQ Sauce into a medium bowl and use it to baste the chicken occasionally during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the blackberries, beer, vinegars, sugar, onion, garlic, habanero, chipotle powder, coffee, coriander and cumin. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours. Carefully puree the sauce in a blender or food processor, then strain.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUEBERRY GRILLED CHICKEN



Red, White, and Blueberry Grilled Chicken image

These colors don't run, but they do stain, so I recommend eating this delicious, red, white and blueberry chicken outdoors at a barbeque. Smoky, spicy meats have been paired with sweet-and-sour, fruit-based sauces since we've had cooks, so that this combo works beautifully is no big surprise. And yes, other juicy fruit like peaches, or other berries will work nicely.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups fresh blueberries
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk oil, salt, paprika, chipotle pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic in a bowl to make marinade. Place chicken breasts in marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Spread sugar in a saucepan set over medium heat. Do not stir, but watch closely as sugar begins to melt after about 1 minute. As sugar melts it will gradually turn a golden color. Continue watching but not stirring. When all sugar has melted and golden color just begins to darken a bit (after 1 minute or less), remove pan from heat. Pour in vinegar and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Place pan over medium-high heat and add blueberries to the sugar-vinegar mixture. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until blueberries soften and mixture begins to thicken, 4 or 5 minutes. It should be a syrup-like consistency. If sauce seems too thin, simmer a few more minutes. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Set a strainer over a bowl. Strain berries, using a spatula to push through as much juice as possible. Discard skins.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Drain excess marinade from chicken.
  • Place chicken breasts on preheated grill. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and allow to rest a few minutes.
  • Serve breasts on a swirl of blueberry sauce with more sauce drizzled on top.

BLUEBERRY BBQ CHICKEN



Blueberry BBQ Chicken image

North Carolina chef Vivian Howard calls this grilled chicken her homage to Carolina-style BBQ sauce, but with a blueberry twist. To make Blue Q Sauce, she cooks fresh blueberries down with apple cider vinegar, chili flakes, sugar, and a cinnamon stick. Slathered on chicken, it produces very tasty caramelized skin.

Provided by Vivian Howard

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups blueberries
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 bay leaf
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 1/2 pounds whole chicken, spatchcocked, have your butcher spatchcock chicken, or see directions in step 4
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Sauce: In a food processor, add blueberries, vinegar, and sugar. Pulse to break up the berries into a chunky pulp. Place mixture into a saucepan; add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, covered, 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender. Make sure the lid is entirely sealed to prevent sauce from spattering while you blend. Blend the sauce to a smooth consistency, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high. When sauce is smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.
  • Transfer sauce back to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, uncovered, and reduce by ¼, about 5 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon, and the viscosity should be more like maple syrup than honey. Pour into a container and cool to room temperature. Makes about 2 cups. (Sauce will keep for up to 6 months refrigerated in a lidded container.)
  • Prep chicken: Lay spatchcocked chicken breast side up on a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. Season liberally on both sides with salt and pepper (about 15 turns of a pepper mill per side). Let rest at room temperature while preheating the grill, 30 minutes.
  • Grill chicken: Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat, about 375 F. The coals should be ashed over in some places, with red embers burning within. Move the coals to one side of the grill to create areas of both direct and indirect heat. Place the chicken skin side up on the side of the grill over the coals (direct heat). Cover and cook, 15 minutes.
  • Divide the Blue Q Sauce: half should be used for basting, while the other half should be reserved for the final baste and for serving. (If the cooled sauce has thickened too much, simply reheat in a saucepan over low heat, or briefly microwave to return to its original syrupy consistency before using.) Remove the lid. Use tongs to flip the chicken over, skin side down, onto the indirect heat side of the grill. Baste the underside of the bird with Blue Q Sauce, then gently re-position back over direct heat, still skin side down. Cover and cook, 5 minutes. Repeat this process-flipping, basting, and grilling for 5 minutes at a time, covered-2-3 more times, until chicken is fully cooked. (The leg, when tugged, should become loosened from the breast. Alternatively, a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding the bone, should register 165 F.) Discard remaining basting sauce.
  • Remove chicken from the grill and place on a cutting board, skin side up. Use reserved Blue Q Sauce to baste one last time and let rest, 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into 6 or 8 pieces and drizzle once more with sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature with additional sauce on the side.

Tips for Making the Best Blueberry Chutney for Grilled Chicken:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful blueberries. This will make your chutney more delicious and vibrant.
  • Use a variety of spices to create a complex flavor profile. Common spices used in blueberry chutney include ginger, garlic, cumin, and coriander.
  • Add some heat to your chutney with a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder. This will balance out the sweetness of the blueberries.
  • Simmer the chutney for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer you simmer it, the thicker and more flavorful it will become.
  • Store the chutney in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Blueberry chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to enhance the flavor of grilled chicken, pork, fish, and even vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover blueberries. With its sweet and tangy flavor, blueberry chutney is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or party.
