Barbecue chicken is something that many of us have enjoyed at one time or another. Whether it is pulled from the grill, sauteed, stewed, fried, or even braised, barbecue chicken is something that many of us can get a kick out of. But for some, barbecue chicken is almost impossible to execute the correct way. This article will give you a simple recipe for the perfect barbecue chicken, as well as show you how to make it fast and easy.
The first step to making your own barbecue chicken recipe is to create a very nice barbecue chicken marinade. This is fairly easy to accomplish. All you need to do is to combine two parts of white vinegar with two parts of dry mustard. You can use either a spray bottle or a bottle with a built-in spray attachment to create a solution with these ingredients. Next, make a fine-toothed sandpaper into the consistency of coarse sand and mix the ingredients together.
You can take this formula and modify it to suit your particular taste, resulting in hundreds of different barbecue chicken recipes. For instance, you can take this formula and use apple juice instead of vinegar and experiment with different apple juice recipes to create unique dishes. There are regional variations as well, such as barbecue chicken that is made with peach preserve instead of vinegar. Regional variations lend themselves perfectly to making homemade food as opposed to purchasing pre-packaged items.
You can make a delicious and easy barbecue chicken meal by making a baked chicken breast instead of using a grill. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature, because cooking a chicken breast one inch below the skin-on temperature tends to result in under cooked, overcooked meat. Although it can be prepared in a typical grill, a barbecue grill does not lend itself very well to baking. Instead, simply bake the chicken breast on a hot grill for about one hour, until the skin-on and juices have browned nicely.
This recipe will yield to a richly flavoured grilled chicken breast. In order to adjust for variation possibilities, substitute meat thermometers for taste testing before and after preparation on the grill. Or adjust this recipe slightly by marinating the chicken in a tomato-based barbecue sauce and then grilling. The sauce will naturally impart a flavor to the breadcrumbs and also will further tenderize the meat.
The key to making the best grilled bbq chicken recipe is to start with good ingredients and to follow the recipe to the letter. You don’t want to mess it up by trying to improvise, because you may end up with dry, uncooked meat. A dry, uncooked meat doesn’t play well with barbecue, just as cooking a fish stew while it’s still raw will make for a poor meal. Follow this guide, and you’ll be on your way to great tasting food in no time at all.
