FIRE DEPARTMENT CHICKEN



Fire Department Chicken image

My family loved this chicken sauce. I made some changes to the recipe for my families taste. I added 3 tablespoons poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. I used skinless, boneless chicken that was grilled on low till cooked. I had to mop this on as the seasonings would not go through the spray bottle nozzle. My future hubby loves when I marinade the chicken in the sauce over night. I put everything in a bag and pop it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Please note this sauce will have a very strong vinegar smell when being cooked to the boil. I recommend cooking it outside if at all possible. I got the recipe from Copy Kat chat. If you have ever tasted the local Fire Department's grilled chicken, here is the spray they use. You can use any cut of chicken you choose, but most Fire Departments use either halves or quarters.

FIREHOUSE CHICKEN

Two chicken halves won't fit in a standard 10-inch cast-iron, so this recipe calls for both a pan and a baking sheet. If you have a 14-inch pan, you can go straight from stovetop to oven.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Chicken     Dinner     Kid-Friendly     Healthy     Sugar Conscious     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable oil, divided
1 (3 1/2-4 pound) chicken, halved

Steps:

  • Purée garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt, parsley, paprika, pepper, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a blender until smooth. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over. Seal bag and chill chicken 1-3 days.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Let sit uncovered at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place 1 chicken half, skin side down, in skillet, set another skillet or heavy pot on top, and add a couple of cans to weigh it down. Cook until skin is browned and crisp, 15-20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken half.
  • Roast chicken in oven, skin side up, until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right chicken is essential for this recipe. Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces to ensure maximum flavor and moisture.
  • The secret to the perfect barbecue sauce lies in the balance of flavors. Adjust the proportions of ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and spices to suit your taste preferences.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different woods for smoking. Hickory, oak, and mesquite are popular choices that impart unique flavors to the chicken.
  • Maintaining a consistent temperature is crucial for successful smoking. Use a reliable thermometer to monitor the temperature inside the smoker and adjust the vents as needed.
  • Basting the chicken with the barbecue sauce during the last hour of smoking adds an extra layer of flavor and keeps the chicken moist.

Conclusion:

Firehouse Barbecue Chicken is a delightful dish that combines smoky, tangy, and sweet flavors to create a truly unforgettable culinary experience. With careful preparation, attention to detail, and a bit of patience, you can easily recreate this restaurant-quality dish at home. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or simply treating your family to a special meal, this recipe is sure to impress.
