Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

KC Dry Rub:
1/4 cup paprika
2 tablespoons Spanish smoked paprika
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
KC Barbecue Sauce:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup water
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
3/4 teaspoon ground celery seed
1/2 teaspoon smoked salt (such as McCormick)
Preparation
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer 25 minutes or until slightly thickened.
4 cups hickory wood chips
8 (10-ounce) bone-in chicken leg-thigh quarters
2 cups water
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Soak wood chips in water 1 hour; drain well. Loosen skin from thighs and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Rub Kansas City Dry Rub evenly under loosened skin; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Remove grill rack; set aside. Prepare grill for indirect grilling, heating one side to medium-high and leaving one side with no heat. Pierce bottom of a disposable aluminum foil pan several times with the tip of a knife. Place pan on heated side of grill; add half of wood chips to pan. Place another disposable aluminum foil pan (do not pierce pan) on unheated side of grill. Pour 2 cups water in pan. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place grill rack on grill. Place chicken on grill rack over foil pan on unheated side. Close lid; cook 1 1/2 hours. Add additional wood chips halfway during cooking time. Turn chicken over; cover and cook 30 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165°. Remove chicken from grill; let stand 10 minutes. Remove and discard skin. Bring sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan. Brush chicken with 1/2 cup sauce. Serve chicken with remaining sauce.

The chicken turned out great! The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I just added a little bit of honey to balance it out.

This Kansas City-style barbecued chicken was a hit at my last cookout! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was perfect - sweet, tangy, and a little bit spicy. I'll definitely be making this again.
