Who doesn't love BBQ Chicken? Apart from vegetarians of course. It is just one of the most loved dishes around the globe and for good reasons. Chicken is a meat available to all, it is not overly expensive, a great source of protein, fills you up and makes you feel good! BBQ chicken does not have to be grilled or smoked it can be cooked in the oven too. The trick is knowing what items go into a good recipe so that you and your family enjoy the result.
So a recipe that should be good will have some of the following ingredients; garlic, mustard, ketchup, cumin, some even use beer, sugar, cinnamon, Worcestershire sauce - and many more. If it has an Asian twist look for honey, Hoisin sauce, ginger and soy sauce. There is quite a range of ingredients and it is a pretty flexible recipe, what it comes down to are what ingredients appeal to you and your taste. There is a great recipe from a show called 'Paula's Home Cooking' where Paula Deen makes a recipe called Deen's Brothers BBQ Chicken. It can be cooked in the grill or in the oven.
Recipe: one whole chicken cut into 8 portions (chicken weight about three and a half pounds), orange juice - 2 tablespoons, Ketchup - 1 cup, liquid smoke - 1/4 teaspoon, dark brown sugar - 1/4 cup (packed), dry mustard powder - 1/2 teaspoon, cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon, Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon. Prepare the oven by preheating to 375F or the grill by using olive oil and brushing it with it. Place in a bowl all of the sauce ingredients (all of them apart from the chicken). Mix well so that they are all combined and then scoop out a third of a cup for basting. Take the chicken pieces and put them in the sauce and toss carefully until they are well coated. Cover the chicken pieces and put on the grill or place them in a roasting pan. Cook for a total of forty to forty five minutes (make sure they are cooked all the way through). After 20 minutes has passed of cooking time baste them with the remainder of the sauce you had set aside.
The chicken tastes great and it is a recipe anyone can follow, grilled or not. For those of you not used to cooking with liquid smoke this gives meat a smoked flavor and smell without having to actually smoke it. If you do not like smoked meat then just leave it out!
If you are not used to cutting up pieces of meat and are unsure how to cut a whole chicken into eight pieces ask your butcher to do it, or just buy chicken pieces! Either buy a selection of legs, thighs and breasts or go for just the thighs as these tend to be a lot cheaper than the breast and still taste good. Plus they will cook quicker so you can get to the eating quicker! Try it out and I am sure you will be happy with it. - 30289
