4 bone-in split chicken breasts
For the Brine:
2 quarts cold water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup salt
For the Rub:
2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
For the Parsley-Mint Sauce:
2 serrano chiles

2/3 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together the ingredients for the brine until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Place the chicken breasts in the brine, using a plate to keep them submerged, and brine in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • While the chicken is brining, combine all of ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the breasts on all over with the rub and place in a Ziploc bag and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight.
  • Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over the charcoal grate. Grill the serrano chiles until charred on all sides and remove to a small bowl, cover, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Peel and roughly chop the chiles and add them along with the parsley, mint, and garlic to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the honey and mustard and process until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Brush the chicken lightly with olive oil and grill, skin side down until golden brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the breasts over, cover, and continue to cook until an instant read thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the breast, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the parsley-mint sauce. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with additional sauce on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons salt
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper, cracked
1 (3 -3 1/2 lb) whole chickens
10 pitted Spanish olives
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon capers

  • Tapenade:.
  • Pulse olives, olive oil, garlic and capers in food processor until mixture becomes a slightly chunky paste (do not overprocess).

SPANISH GRILLED CHICKEN RUB



Spanish Grilled Chicken Rub image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon Spanish Paprika
1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
2 teaspoons Cumin
3 teaspoons Mustard Seed
3 teaspoons Fennel Seed
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 teaspoons Salt

Steps:

  • Add all spices to grinder, chop until fine.
  • Brush chicken with oil
  • Rub both sides with spice mixture.
  • Grill

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Opt for organic or free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry before grilling: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which can cause the chicken to steam rather than grill.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub in this recipe is a great way to add flavor to the chicken. You can also experiment with other rubs or marinades to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Grill the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the grill. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Spanish grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your grilled chicken is flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. So fire up your grill and enjoy this tasty Spanish dish!
