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.
STACEY'S FAMOUS BBQ CHICKEN
This sauce is one that I have changed so many times. After about 10 years my family was getting tired of it changing all the time and said that it was time to write it down. So I did. Its the most requested meal in my house by my family and all my kids friends.

Steps:
- Remove chicken from the package, season both sides lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
- For BBQ Sauce:.
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan and simmer for a bit over a ½ hour.
- (Watch out for bubbles and splatter).
- Grill chicken for about an hour, until almost done, (about 145 degrees internal temp).
- Baste top side and cook for 15 minutes, flip, baste other side and cook for another 15 minutes. Flip again and baste and cook for five more minutes, then flip and baste then cook for 5 more minutes. Internal temperature should be a minimum of 165 degrees when done.
- When grilling watch for flare ups during cooking process before sauce is applied and also after. Try to use indirect heat after sauce is applied. Can also cook in the oven using the broiler with the oven rack at the second from the top position. Cooking times will vary with the oven method.
- Can refrigerate sauce for about a month (it never lasts that long in my house)
- * If no bouillon, substitute a spice of your choice, cayenne pepper, Jalapeno powder, and for a super kick, Habenaro powder (use caution).
- # If you like a bit of chunk in your sauce, finely minced garlic, 2-3 cloves, and one half an onion, can be used in place of the powder.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACEY FRIED CHICKEN
Steps:
- To make the brine: In a large stockpot, over medium-high heat, heat oil and sweat the onions, peppers and garlic until just softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add water, sugar, salt, wine, honey and peppercorns and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, let cool 15 minutes then add ice to cool completely. Submerge chicken pieces into brine and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
- Remove chicken from brine, rinse and pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the flour and spices. Divide mixture between 2 shallow bowls. Pour buttermilk in a separate bowl. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, then buttermilk, then dredge in second bowl of flour. Set pieces on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and let chicken rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet to 350 degrees F. Add the chicken carefully, cooking in batches, if necessary. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes, turning pieces as they brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt and serve.
FILIPINO-STYLE BARBECUE CHICKEN
I'm showing you how I make what is probably the best barbecue chicken you've never had, which I should've already done, but I've hesitated since one of the main ingredients is banana ketchup. But then I remembered that I teach people to cook things, so this includes a recipe for this special ingredient.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with the skin on for the best flavor and moisture.
- Make your own barbecue sauce: It's easy to make your own sauce, and you can customize it to your liking. There are many different recipes available online.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help it absorb the flavors of the barbecue sauce.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a grill, place the chicken on one side of the grill and the heat source on the other side.
- Baste the chicken with barbecue sauce: Basting the chicken with barbecue sauce during cooking will help keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
