BBQ Chicken

Memorial day always proves to be a perfect opportunity and excuse to grill. Well, this year was no exception. Yesterday, I decided to grill up some BBQ Chicken for me and the family. Now I preface this by saying that this isn't quite a recipe by any means as you can get away with just chicken and BBQ sauce, but I felt like talking through the process in which I cook it.

There really isn't too much complexity with this one and you have lots of options to make it your own. I tend to stick with Chicken Legs & Thighs as well as Bull's Eye Original BBQ Sauce. For me, there really is no alternative to the BBQ sauce I use, but this is all based on personal preference. Sweet Baby Ray's and KC Masterpiece aren't terrible alternatives. You will also notice that the chicken above will appear burnt. Now this is for 2 reasons: First of all, we like it that way. Second, our grill is old and flames up for like no apparent reason.

Now to the "recipe". This is as simple as it gets.

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: About 25-30 Minutes (Based on Grill Heat)


Ingredients:


Selection of Chicken Legs & Thighs
Bull's Eye BBQ Sauce (about 1 full bottle about 12-15 pieces of chicken)
Cooking Spray

1. Not relevant to the recipe but crack open a beer.


2. Make sure to rinse your chicken under water prior to cooking to ensure it is as clean as possible. Heat your grill to a medium to high temperature. Spray a thin layer of cooking spray on the grill CAREFULLY as it will flame up.


3. Next, place the chicken onto the grill spaced out evenly across the grill. Now there isn't an exact science here since all grills are quite different but what you are looking for here is to slightly brown each side of the chicken before starting to spread the BBQ sauce on the pieces. With my grill, I cooked for about 5 minutes on each side.


4. Once the chicken has browned, you can begin spreading the BBQ sauce generously on each piece of chicken using a brush. Once coated, flip all of the pieces and repeat.


5. We tend to like ours with more sauce so I actually coated each side one more time and flipping accordingly. Make sure to cook each side that you brush BBQ on.


6. Finally, remove the pieces from the grill and serve.
