Easy Moist Grilled Chicken (Bar-Be-Que)

This recipe is so easy, and I always get raves.

Super Easy Barbecue Chicken

Place thawed chicken pieces into a large bowl.   The recipe for four to six servings:

Combine

1/4 cup cooking oil
3 pounds thawed chicken pieces

Sprinkle with

1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning (or other seasoning salt or lemon pepper blend)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasonings (herb blend)

Stir the seasonings and the oil with the chicken well to coat.  Allow the chicken to rest in the seasonings at least 5 minutes up to overnight refrigerated.

Pre-heat a gas grill or barbecue until it is medium-hot.  Place the chicken skin down to sear it, then turn the heat down to low and turn the pieces over.  Be sure and watch for flame spurts.  Move the chicken off of any flames.  Cook it until it is golden brown and heated to 170F for breasts, 180F for other pieces.

This method can be used successfully with other meats, but it is the best with chicken!

Basic Bar Be Cue (BBQ, Bar-B-Que) Sauce and HOT Wings Sauce


Bar-be-Que Sauce


This is a very basic sauce recipe I found on the internet.  It is not sugar-free, but it is gluten free and soy free.  It would be more allergy friendly if organic ketchup were used.


2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons dried onion
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar


Combine all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan.  Mix them well and heat over medium heat until just boiling.  Simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.  Excellent when used as a sauce for baked chicken wings -- just use this recipe and substitute this sauce for the one listed.






HOT Wings Sauce


Combine in a medium sauce pan


1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (spicy brown would also work well)
3 tablespoons hot chili sauce (Asian style)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1/2 cup butter


Over medium heat, whisk all ingredients together until well combined.  Excellent used as a sauce for chicken wings as in this recipe.
