This tasty BBQ chicken recipe benefits from having a clean citrus edge and sweetness to round up the flavours in this dish. The orange juice may be substituted with apple if you prefer.

Ingredients:

6 chicken fillets, trimmed
1/2 litre orange juice
3 tbls tomato ketchup or passata (concentrated sieved tomatoes)
2 tbls demerera sugar
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce or your favourite pepper sauce
1 tbls cider vinegar

Directions:

In medium or large sized saucepan add the orange juice, tomato, demerera sugar, cider vinegar, herbs and pepper sauce and bring to a rolling boil. Lower the temperature to a gentle simmer and stir gently and constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Divide the sauce mixture into half and allow it to cool. Place 1/2 sauce in a plastic or glass container and place in your fridge and place the remaining half of the sauce and in an oven-proof dish. At this stage you can now add the prepared chicken breasts to a baking dish and mix it thoroughly with the sauce.

Cover the chicken and sauce mixture, and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, overnight is preferable for the best flavour.

Now turn on your grill to around 150f and add a little oil to the grill rack to prevent the chicken from sticking.

Remove chicken from refrigerator and add a light spray of oil to the chicken pieces and generously coat them with the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 10 or so minutes on each side until it the chicken has cooked through properly, and test to make sure that the juices run clear.

Continue to coat the chicken with the remaining marinade during cooking being careful not to add too much. Once the chicken has cooked through with the sauce, it will have a shiny fruit glaze and will be ready to serve.

BBQ Chicken Recipe – How to Make the Most Tender BBQ Chicken

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

BBQ chicken recipe ingredients

2 x 4-5lb roasting chickens
Olive Oil
Dark Soy sauce
Black pepper

Marinade the roasting chickens first by basting them with equal parts of olive oil, dark soy sauce and crack over about half a tablespoon of black peppercorns. For best results place the roasting chickens on the upper rack area of your BBQ smoker at around 250f to 300f for around 4 or so hours until the internal temperature of the chickens reach 180f.

Tend to your smoker once or twice during the smoking process and top up with wood chips as appropriate. Don’t forget to add some extra water to the smokers water pan to ensure that your chickens are getting a light moist smoke throughout the whole cooking process.

Once the chicken has cooked properly, remove the whole chickens from your smoker and wrap them in some plastic freezer bags or aluminum foil and leave the birds to rest for around 30 minutes or so.

Now that the chickens have had plenty of time to absorb the flavours and rest, remove them from your wrap, and gently pull off the tender meat and discard the BBQ chicken juices. A Weber Smoky Mountain or Big Green Egg are ideal smokers for 2-4 medium sized roasting chickens but you can use any smoking apparatus that you have to hand and cook as many as you wish according to the amount of people you have to feed using the same recipe.

Cooking “low-and-slow” on your smoker or grill is the best way to go if you are looking for the best tasting BBQ chicken. Lowering cooking times and turning up the temperature will allow you to serve your meats faster to your guests, but the results will not be as good.

Once you have removed the wings and legs, carefully cut along the breastbone of each chicken and cut it into a few pieces to your liking. You should notice how tender the meat is as you will observe all of the remaining moisture in the meat because you have cooked your chicken to perfection. It is now time to serve the meat to your guests and enjoy that delicious BBQ chicken taste.
