I like to grill this barbeque chicken recipe using the indirect method. The chicken should cook for 45 – 55 minutes, and grilling it indirect will help to keep it juicy. Additionally, this barbeque chicken recipe calls for bone in chicken breasts. That is important, do not use the boneless skinless chicken breasts as it will not turn out properly!

Ingredients:

4 bone in chicken breasts
Lemon Pepper
Spray bottle
Apple juice
Apple cider vinegar

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Place them in a large ziploc freezer bag and add a generous amount of lemon pepper. You should add enough to cover the chicken completely, but not so much that there is loose lemon pepper in the bag, you want it all on the chicken. Let the chicken sit for 1-4 hours.

In the spray bottle, make a mixture of apple juice and apple cider vinegar that has a 50-50 proportion (so half juice, half vinegar).

Grill the chicken using the indirect method, turning every 10 minutes. Every time you turn the chicken, spray it with the vinegar mixture. Be generous with the spray, more is better!

The last time you turn the chicken, season both sides with lemon pepper to taste.

Simple barbeque chicken recipe, but give it a try, it turns out delicious!

This is a tasty and easy barbeque chicken recipe for skinless boneless chicken breasts. It has a sweet flavor to it, and can be eaten alone, sliced on top of a salad or served as a grilled sandwich on sourdough rolls with all the fixings.

This is another barbeque chicken recipe that I like to grill on a plank, it really gives it a unique flavor. You can grill it directly on the grill if need be, but I would reccommend using the indirect method if you go this route. Be certain not to overcook this one, as the chicken breasts will come out dry if you do.

Ingredients:

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
4 TBSP Brown Sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Seasoning Salt
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Salt
1 1/2 tsp Fresh Chopped Thyme
1/3 Cup Garlic Olive Oil (substitute olive oil with chopped garlic or garlic powder if need be)
Pepper
Grilling Plank

Soak your plank for at least an hour, longer is better.

Combine the brown sugar, salt, seasoning salt, garlic powder, Thyme and onion salt in a bowl and mix. Put the chicken breasts in a large ziploc bag and pour the mixture into the bag. Save the bowl. Mix the garlic olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper in the bowl, cover and refrigerate.

Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture and let sit for 1-4 hours. Do not marinate overnight.

Set the grill up to barbeque using the direct method if using a plank, indirect method if not. Prep the plank by warming each side for about 3 minutes.

Place the chicken on the plank and cover the barbeque. The chicken should cook for about 35 minutes, keep a good eye on it, you do not want the chicken overcooked. Turn the chicken every 5-10 minutes.

Brush the garlic olive oil mixture on the chicken breasts the last two times you turn them. Make sure the chicken is done before eating, but not overdone so as to avoid dry chicken.

Sweet Thyme Barbeque Chicken Recipe

This is a tasty barbeque chicken recipe. I really like serving these chicken breasts as barbeque sandwiches on sourdough rolls. Both the kids and the adults love them!

A good suggestion when grilling chicken is to use a meat thermometer.  This will help make sure that your meat has the correct internal temperature and that it is safe to eat. One of the main issues that many people have when grilling chicken is that it is a food that tends to cook unevenly. In addition to following the correct grilling time for chicken guidelines, there are also a few tips that can help ensure a more even cooking as well.

Larger pieces of chicken are the main pieces of concern when talking about uneven cooking. This means that while one part of the chicken may become done, another part may need to cook more. This causes either parts that are charred or parts that are not cooked. This issue can be corrected by cutting up the larger pieces of chicken so that they will cook more evenly.

If you are going to be grilling a whole chicken you will want to butterfly the chicken so that it will cook more evenly. The butterflying process involves taking out the backbone from the chicken so that it can be laid flat on the grill. This will provide much better results, and will also help the chicken to cook evenly.

The proper grilling time for chicken will depend upon what you are grilling. For example, if you are grilling a skinless/boneless chicken breast, then the grilling time for chicken would be twenty-five minutes. A bone-in chicken breast will need to be cooked for about fifteen minutes longer, although I like to slow cook them with indirect heat for about an hour.

On the other hand, if you are grilling a whole chicken then your grilling time would be about an hour and a half. The correct grilling time for chicken when cooking drumsticks or thighs is about forty minutes.

Again, by using a meat thermometer, you can always ensure that you have the correct grilling time for chicken.  Undercooked chicken is no one’s friend!
