Chili-Rubbed Chicken with Barbecue

This delicious bbq chicken was featured on the cover of an old 1995 Bon Appetite magazine. Dry-rubbed before grilling, this delicious bird is then drizzled with a zesty sauce at the table. Note: You can elect to mop the chicken with the sauce during grilling if you wish.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

CHILI RUB
3/4 c chili powder
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp cayenne pepper
MOP SAUCE
1 c hickory barbecue sauce
3/4 c ketchup
1/3 c orange juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp hot sauce (such as tabasco)
2 whole chickens, quartered (backbones discarded - 3 1/2 pounds each)
3 c mesquite wood chips (soaked in cold water for 1 hour) optional

Steps:

  • 1. For chili rub - mix all ingredients in bowl. For mop sauce - mix all sauce ingredients in medium bowl.
  • 2. Arrange chicken in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle rub generously on both sides of chicken, press to adhere. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • 3. Prepare barbecue grill to medium-high heat. When coals are white, drain chips, if using, and scatter over coals. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill rack away from direct heat. Cover grill and cook chicken until cooked through, turning every 5 minutes and covering grill , about 35-40 minutes (chili rub may look slightly burned). Serve hot or warm passing mop sauce separately.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used a homemade barbecue sauce, which I think made it even better. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for someone who likes their food hot. I'll definitely try it again with less chili powder.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the barbecue sauce helped to make up for it. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I've tried many chili-rubbed chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of chili powder, cumin, and garlic is perfect. It's a bit spicy, but not too much.
