Barbecued Chicken on plate with potatoes and broccoliFor many years, we have enjoyed cooking outside on our Holland Grill, especially during the hot summer months. It cooks much like an oven with no open flame so cooking this chicken in a pan works great. It can also be baked in the oven as well.

My husband likes to get in the kitchen now and then and make BBQ chicken. He does not look at a recipe or measure anything, he just adds what he thinks is needed. However this time he measured so I could share his recipe on Thriftyfun. The chicken turned out perfectly.

Years ago, he started out using my recipe for BBQ chicken but the more he made it, the more he changed it and added other ingredients. I baked it in the oven and he even changed that. He cooked it on the Holland Grill. It really is good. Much better than my old recipe.

I'm glad to let him have the kitchen and cook anytime he desires but the BBQ sauce is about the only thing he enjoys making. He puts it all together and then lets me clean up the kitchen and do the cooking on the grill.

This recipe is good to use with barbeque pork as well. We haven't tried beef yet, but he's talking about that. I have heard that beef is what they barbeque in Texas and I'll bet it is good.

I have a recipe that says to cook ribs in 2 bottles of barbecue sauce and then cover the ribs the rest of the way with water and bring to a boil, then simmer till done. Then put the ribs on the outdoor gas grill and turn and baste for 20 minutes till brown. I did this and it was delicious. I wonder if chicken could be cooked the same way?


I appreciate all replies.

Thanks

You can actually marinate your chicken in the barbeque sauce. It's really delicious in the oven and I bet it would be heavenly on the grill. I would just marinate the chicken in the BBQ sauce and then cook on the grill as you did with the ribs.

I'd slather on the bbq sauce during the last 5 mins. of cooking because it will burn (previous experience).

Another good way to cook the ribs is to slather the BBQ sauce on and slow bake them in the oven for several hours. Wrap them up in all the sauce and juices and refrigerate over night. The next day cook them on the grill adding more sauce as desired. The BBQ sauce is soaked up by the ribs and they are super delicious!!!

For chicken and pork, sauces, marinades and cooking methods are often almost interchangable. I usually tweak the sauce a bit differently for chicken, and use slightly different rubs. Also there are smoke woods I use on fowl that I'd never use on pork, and if I pre-cooked the chicken in the kitchen I probably wouldn't cook it quite aa long.

When trying something like this for the first time I usually stay as close to the original recipe as I can. I make notes of any changes while cooking, as well as possible considerations for future changes. Then if it basically works, I'll use it again with a few tweeks and more notes, and after several tries and experiments it usually turns out the way I want it. Once in a while though in a case like using a really good pork recipe on chicken, after the first try I know I don't need to change a thing.

I'd tweak the recipe. If you cook chicken until done before putting on the grill, it will be so tender that it probably will fall apart. A good rule of thumb is to grill the chicken first, then put BBQ sauce over it and bake, microwave, or simmer on stove top.

I see absolutely no reason why this wouldn't work (in fact it sounds good) but you will have to adjust your times. I would bring the bbq sauce and water mix to a boil first, then add the chicken, return to a boil and parboil for about 15 minutes. When you finish it on the grill I would start checking it after about 10 minutes. I'm sure it will take some experimentation to get the times right - remember white meat cooks faster than dark - but I bet it'll be good. In fact, I may just try this myself!

I recently did beer can chicken on the barbecue. Now I would like to do it again using wine instead of beer. Has anyone tried it? White wine or red wine?

Red wine, the heartier the better. Try rubbing the chicken with garlic, and using chianti.

Hey, Sharon..... Sure you can. Just fill a soda or beer can with whichever wine you like (red or white) and go for it. You can also use apple juice, lemonaide, almost any liquid. I know that white wine used to be used for fish, and red wine for meat, but I don't think that holds true anymore. Just use what you have.

We have found it doesn't matter what liquid you use, the chicken will be moist. We once tried orange soda. It gave it a slightly orange flavor, but not enough for anyone to know if they hadn't seen us use it. I would imagine you could use either wine, but I wonder if it is the fizz (in beer and pop) that helps. As the can heats up, the fizz boils over to "baste" the chicken. Give it a try, I doubt it would hurt it any.

I wouldn't use an expensive wine as you won't get the flavor anyway. We just did one today using cheap red wine and seasoning the outside of the chicken with spices, garlic, lemon pepper, salt, pepper whatever my husband grabbed and grilled it with apple wood chips for smoke flavor and it was fantastic. We have done these with lots of different liquids and never have we tasted any of the liquid flavors, they just make the meat very moist.
