Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

5 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
One #10 size can catsup
1 large Vidalia onion fine chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
One 5-ounce bottle pickapeppa sauce (This contains: mangos, raisins, tamarinds, salt and pepper, tomatoes)
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 large juice oranges
1 large lime
2 lemons
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons grated horseradish
1 can cola, (recommended Dr. Pepper)
Few dried chiles, to taste
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, to taste
3 whole chickens, halved
1 cup poultry seasoning
1 large onion
4 cloves garlic
1 can beer
1 stick butter
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Place the garlic in cup of boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and chop fine. Saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the heat and wait 1 minute for the pan to start to cool. Add the chopped garlic, stir, and place mixture in a bowl to cool - never let the garlic hit the hot oil over the fire - this way the garlic will infuse the remaining moisture and not burn and get bitter.
  • In a large stock pot over medium-low heat add the catsup and bring to a slow simmer, always stirring. After 10 minutes add the onions, garlic, soy sauce, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, pickapeppa sauce, and wine vinegar, and let simmer for another 10 minutes, covered.
  • Cut all the fruit into quarters and squeeze the juice into the pot. Then, add the fruit to the pot, with the brown sugar, horseradish, and Dr. Pepper. Continue to simmer for at least 40 minutes, covered.
  • Add the dried chile peppers and cayenne, turn off heat and let the chiles go to work for about another 20 minutes.
  • Chicken:
  • Add all items to a very large pot of boiling water. Reduce heat, cover with a plate and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the pot and let cool to room temperature, covered.
  • Your grill should be very hot. We use a smoke box with wet wood chips in the gas grill to add a nice wood flavor (optional). Lightly spray the grill with nonstick spray. Add the chicken and get nice grill marks on both sides. The bbq sauce should be in a large pot that has just been removed from the heat.
  • Very important: Just paint the chicken lightly with the sauce and let it stay on the grill for 1 minute on each side, just to burn the sauce. Remove from the grill and submerge in the hot bbq sauce for a just a second. Put on platter and serve with very sour dough bread and vinegar and oil based cole slaw, cold beer and look out.

Tips for Lip-Smackin' Barbecued Chicken:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Chicken: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces like whole chicken, chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks. The bones and skin add flavor and moisture to the meat.
  • Marinate Your Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids tenderizes the meat and infuses it with delicious flavors. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a Quality Barbecue Sauce: Choose a barbecue sauce that complements the flavors of your chicken and marinade. Look for sauces with a good balance of sweetness, smokiness, and tanginess.
  • Cook Your Chicken Low and Slow: Barbecued chicken is best cooked low and slow to allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender. Aim for a cooking temperature of around 225-250°F (107-121°C).
  • Baste Your Chicken Regularly: Basting the chicken with barbecue sauce or marinade during cooking helps keep it moist and adds extra flavor. Baste the chicken every 30-45 minutes or so.
  • Let Your Chicken Rest: Before serving, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. This will result in juicier, more flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Lip-smacking barbecued chicken is an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing dish that's perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that will have everyone coming back for more. Experiment with different marinades, barbecue sauces, and cooking methods to find the perfect combination that suits your taste. Whether you're grilling, smoking, or baking your chicken, the key to lip-smacking barbecued chicken is low and slow cooking and plenty of basting.
