Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo (1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers and 1 tablespoon sauce)
2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo (1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers and 1 tablespoon sauce)
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
Zest of 1 lime and juice of 1/2, plus wedges for serving
Zest of 1 lime and juice of 1/2, plus wedges for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
2 bunches scallions, root ends trimmed
16 small corn tortillas
Prepared salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix together the vegetable oil, chipotle and sauce, smoked paprika, honey, oregano, cumin, garlic, lime zest and juice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub some under the skin of the chicken breasts and thighs, and then all over the outside of the chicken. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill for low indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to low. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  • Place the chicken breast-side up on the indirect side. Cover and cook, rotating the chicken periodically, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads at least 165 degrees F, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 40 minutes. (If using charcoal, you might have to add more charcoal during cooking.) Let the chicken rest 20 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, increase the grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle some oil on the scallions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until softened and darkly charred in spots on all sides, just a few minutes. At the same time, warm up the tortillas on the grill, about 1 minute per side; stack grilled tortillas and wrap in foil to keep warm.
  • Serve chicken with warm tortillas, charred scallions, lime wedges and salsa.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Small bunch fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
2 pounds bone-in skinless chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs and breasts, halved
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir the water, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon syrup until dissolved. Stir in the thyme. Smash 3 cloves of garlic and add to the brine with the chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Mince the remaining clove of garlic and add to a medium pot with the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons syrup, chipotles, chili powder and salt, to taste. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving.
  • Prepare the grill or grill pan for direct/high heat. Oil the grill grates. Drain the chicken and very pat dry. Grill, turning, until no longer pink near the bone, 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken pieces). Brush with sauce generously as it cooks during the second half of the cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce on the side.

Categories     Chicken     Marinate     Quick & Easy     Lime     Hot Pepper     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons chipotle Tabasco
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 large skinless boneless chicken thighs (2 1/2 lb total)
2 teaspoons mild honey

  • Brush both sides of chicken with some of reserved sauce, then continue to grill, turning over once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Serve chicken drizzled with remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Make sure your grill is hot: A hot grill will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the chicken plenty of space so that it cooks evenly.
  • Baste the chicken frequently: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

This grilled chipotle and cola BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the BBQ sauce is tangy and sweet. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled vegetables.
