Categories main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

One 3-pound whole chicken, split in half
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup your favorite barbecue sauce
4 ounces brewed coffee or cold brew or 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder

Steps:

Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with the oil. Place the chicken skin-side up over direct heat and close the grill. Cook for 2 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook with the lid down for 1 additional minute.
Meanwhile, whisk together the barbecue sauce and coffee in a small saucepan.
Flip the chicken again so it's skin-side up, move over to indirect heat and brush with some of the redeye barbecue sauce. Close the grill and cook, brushing with the redeye barbecue sauce every 10 minutes, until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill and rest at least 5 minutes before serving. Bring the leftover redeye barbecue sauce to a simmer over direct heat for several minutes. Serve the chicken with the redeye barbecue sauce on the side or poured over.
(Alternatively, you can bake the chicken skin-side up on a wire rack-lined rimmed baking sheet in a 450 degrees F oven for 25 minutes. You do not need to flip the chicken.)Who's Dining:

Time 10h10m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
3 lemons, juiced
12 cloves garlic, minced
3 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
30 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
½ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup Sriracha sauce
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
½ tablespoon onion powder
1 pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and jalapeno peppers in a bowl for a marinade. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour.
Place the chicken thighs in a large, shallow container and cover with the marinade. Chill and marinate for at least 6 hours, or up to overnight.
Combine ketchup, water, cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, Sriracha, brown sugar, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, 1/2 tablespoon black pepper, and onion powder in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 25 minutes.
Remove the skin from each chicken thigh, one at a time. Trim excess fat from the edges of each thigh; if there are any veins on the bottom of the thigh, trim away as well. Scrape the fat off from the bottom side of the chicken's skin using a sharp knife until the skin is essentially transparent.
Re-wrap the trimmed thighs with the skin. Liberally coat with sea salt and pepper.
Place chicken thighs, unstacked, onto wire racks. Place the racks into the smoker. Add pecan wood chips according to manufacturer's directions and heat to 265 to 285 degrees F (129 to 140 degrees C).
Smoke until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the centers, about 2 hours. During the final 45 minutes of cooking, liberally apply the BBQ sauce 2 to 3 times. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone of a thigh should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Time 27m

Yield 2 chicken thighs, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 chicken thighs
30 ml teriyaki sauce (2 tablespoons)
30 ml soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
45 ml ketchup (3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon ginger (ground ginger is OK too)
3 tablespoons caster sugar (for a helathier choice use sugar substitute)

Steps:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 20min.
Pre-heat the grill for 2 minutes.
Grill the chicken thighs for 12 minutes on each side. Do not turn more than once but make sure you rotate the grill once, so that the chicken browns evenly.

Tips:

When selecting chicken thighs, look for pieces that are plump and have a uniform color. Avoid thighs that are bruised or have any signs of spoilage.
To ensure that the chicken thighs cook evenly, make sure they are all roughly the same size. If you have a thigh that is significantly larger than the others, you can cut it in half.
Before grilling the chicken thighs, pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the marinade adhere to the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
For best results, marinate the chicken thighs for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. If you marinate the chicken for too long, the acids in the marinade can start to break down the proteins in the chicken, making it tough.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the chicken thighs. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
Cook the chicken thighs over direct heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can check the chicken is cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the chicken thighs are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken thighs with blackberry BBQ sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the blackberry BBQ sauce is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
