CAROLINA-STYLE BARBECUE CHICKEN

Carolina-Style Barbecue Chicken image

The hallmark of Carolina BBQ is a tangy sauce with a vinegar base and just a little spice, but no tomato product. While Carolina BBQ usually features pork, this recipe shows that the flavors work just as well on chicken. A little melted butter in the sauce helps balance the sharpness of the vinegar and mustard, and adds just enough thickness to cling to the meat.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/4 pounds)
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1 large tomato, sliced
Prepared macaroni salad, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium. Whisk the yellow mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard powder, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Whisk in the butter.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with about one-third of the mustard sauce in a large bowl until coated. Let sit at room temperature, 10 minutes.
Brush the grill grates generously with vegetable oil. Put about 1/4 cup of the remaining mustard sauce in a small bowl for basting and reserve the rest for topping. Grill the chicken, covered, basting occasionally with the sauce, until well marked and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes per side.
Serve the chicken with the reserved mustard sauce, sliced tomato and macaroni salad, if desired.

Tips:

To achieve a smoky flavor without a smoker, use a charcoal grill or add liquid smoke to the chicken.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for dark meat and 175°F (80°C) for white meat.
Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
For a sweeter barbecue sauce, add brown sugar or honey. For a spicier sauce, add chili powder or cayenne pepper.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides such as coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad.

Conclusion:

Creating mouthwatering country-style barbecue chicken is a delightful experience that combines simple ingredients with bold flavors. Whether you prefer a traditional charcoal grill or a modern electric smoker, the key to success lies in achieving a smoky, tender, and juicy chicken. Experiment with different marinades and barbecue sauces to find your perfect combination. Remember to cook the chicken thoroughly and let it rest before serving to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness. Invite friends and family to share this delicious meal, and create lasting memories around the barbecue.
