THE ULTIMATE BARBECUED CHICKEN

For the Ultimate Barbecued Chicken, Tyler Florence first grills the bird, then bastes it in his homemade sauce from Food Network.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 quarts water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed with the side of a large knife
4 sprigs fresh thyme
6 chicken legs and thighs, still connected, bone in, skin on, about 10 ounces each
1 slice bacon
1 bunch fresh thyme
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika if available
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the brine, in a mixing bowl combine the water, salt, sugar, garlic, and thyme. Transfer the brine to a 2-gallon sized re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, close the bag and refrigerate 2 hours (if you've only got 15 minutes, that's fine) to allow the salt and seasonings to penetrate the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the bunch of thyme and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook slowly 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly without coloring for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Once the sauce is done cooking, remove about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and reserve for serving along side the chicken at the table. The rest of the barbecue sauce will be used for basing the legs.
  • Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
  • Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue to a medium heat. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface. Take the chicken out of the brine, pat it dry on paper towels. Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook, turn once mid-way, and cook for a total of 10 minutes. Transfer the grill marked chicken to a cookie sheet and then place in the oven. Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and then brush liberally, coating every inch of the legs with the barbecue sauce and then return to the oven for 25 to 30 more minutes, basting the chicken for a second time half way through remaining cooking time. Serve with extra sauce.

BARBECUE CHICKEN



Barbecue Chicken image

The juiciest chicken on the grill starts with bone-in, skin-on pieces. Ask your butcher to cut up a whole chicken or watch our helpful video here. Then dry-brine the chicken with a simple salt-and-pepper rub and let stand; prepare your sauce and get your grill going while you wait.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 chicken (4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces (breasts halved crosswise)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup apple-cider vinegar
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 finely minced garlic cloves
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly on chicken, then set chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand uncovered 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, bring ketchup, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to 1 cup, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer sauce to a bowl.
  • Heat a charcoal grill, creating a two-zone fire with vents partially open. Position coals on one side of the grill for direct high heat, and leave the other side empty for indirect lower heat. (On a gas grill, turn one side on high, and leave the other burners off.) Lightly coat chicken with olive oil and place over indirect heat. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until pieces are cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts (not touching bones) registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover grill; transfer chicken to direct heat. Brush with sauce and cook, turning frequently, until caramelized and lightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Brush on more sauce as pieces come off the grill, or serve it on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor. If using boneless, skinless chicken, add 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the pan to prevent it from drying out.
  • Make sure your grill is hot: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to sear the chicken and keep it from sticking to the grates.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary, so that each piece has plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit for boneless, skinless chicken and 175 degrees Fahrenheit for bone-in, skin-on chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Barbecued chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious barbecued chicken that will be the star of your next cookout.
