Barbecue Glazed Chicken Recipes

GLAZED BBQ CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim meat of excess fat, and pat dry. Apply dry rub all over the chicken pieces and place in a refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours uncovered to dry brine.
• Preheat smoker to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (F) using fruit wood like apple or cherry. Oak and Hickory also work well.
• Place chicken pieces in the smoker until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 150 degrees F in the breast and 160 degrees in the thighs.
• Dip the chicken pieces into the bowl of glaze and place back onto the smoker. Continue smoking until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F using a good instant read thermometer for the breast and 170 degrees for the thighs.
• Remove from the smoker and then dip again into your glaze, let it rest for 10 minutes allowing glaze to set.
• Serve and enjoy.

BBQ GLAZED SMOKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken and rub: In a smoker with hickory or other hardwood, bring the wood to smoke and maintain a temperature of 175 to 180 degrees F.
• In a bowl, blend the paprika, salt, cayenne, cumin and garlic powder well. Next, season the chicken halves with the rub, both on the skins and in the interiors. Place in the smoker for 2 hours. The smoker temperature should be maintained between 165 and 170 degrees F for the cooking period. Remove the chicken from the racks and allow to rest until cooled, for a minimum of 2 hours.
• For the sauce: In a bowl with a whisk, mix together the ketchup, vinegar, mustard and horseradish.
• To reheat and glaze the chicken, preheat the grill. Evenly coat the skins of the chicken halves with the butter and salt. Grill until crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and finish reheating for 4 minutes. During this period, glaze the skins with 2 tablespoons of the sauce.

HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken in hot oil until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Pour honey mixture into skillet and continue to cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes more.

BBQ GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a bowl whisk together the ketchup, BBQ sauce, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and BBQ rub seasoning. Then pour the sauce in a thick-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Cook to blend the flavors, 10 to 15 minutes. Once warmed, remove from the heat and hold in a warm spot.
• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Drizzle both sides of each chicken with the oil. Next, mix the salt, pepper and cumin in a bowl, and then sprinkle over both sides of each chicken. Place the chicken, breast-side up, on a flat cookie sheet and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.
• When fully cooked, remove the chickens and lightly glaze the skin with the BBQ sauce. Return the chickens to the oven, allowing the BBQ sauce to glaze the birds, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Serve with a choice of sides.

HOISIN-BBQ-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until grill marks appear and an internal temperature of 170 degrees F, about 15 minutes per side.
• While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ketchup, hoisin, sherry, sesame oil, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Brush the chicken thighs with about 1/2 cup of the sauce several times in the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce and with cooked broccoli and white rice.

BARBECUE GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cook shallots in oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft, 12 to 14 minutes (reduce heat to low if shallots begin to brown). Stir in vinegar, tomato purée, honey, steak sauce, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Remove sauce from heat and reserve 1 1/2 cups for basting and 1 cup for serving. Cool sauce to room temperature before brushing on chicken (sauce will thicken as it cools).
• Remove excess fat from chicken and pat chicken dry. Brush all over with some barbecue sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• To cook chicken using a charcoal grill:
• Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a large chimney of charcoal briquettes (about 100) and pour them evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of charcoal).
• When charcoal turns grayish white (15 to 20 minutes from lighting) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above top rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear chicken on lightly oiled grill rack over coals, uncovered, turning, until well browned, about 3 minutes total.
• Move chicken to side of grill with no coals underneath, arranging skin sides up, then cook, covered with lid, brushing with sauce and turning every 10 minutes, until cooked through, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• To cook chicken using a gas grill:
• Preheat all burners on high, then adjust heat to moderate. Sear chicken on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning, until well browned, about 10 minutes total. Adjust heat to low, then cook chicken, covered with lid, brushing with sauce and turning every 10 minutes, until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Serve chicken with reserved cup sauce.
