Anyone who cooks on their barbecue grill often likely has a barbeque chicken recipe, along with a variety of grilling tips they love to use.

Barbecue chicken is one of the favorites often made on the grill and can also ignite a passion in the real chicken barbecue enthusiast. Needless to say, there aren’t very many marinades that are made especially for chicken that can compare to barbecue sauce.

To produce a basic marinade, you will require about a half-gallon of water, about two tablespoons of kosher salt, just under one-half cup of brown sugar, a bit of fresh thyme and two crushed cloves of garlic. Mix it all up and place it in a sealable container. Then you’re able to add the chicken, with the skin on. Ideally, the chicken should soak in this blend for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

However, if time is limited, a minimum of 30-minutes will be needed to allow the ingredients to soak in to the chicken. It isn’t recommended you soak the chicken immediately, as it might end up too marinated. Also, you should definitely place the marinating meat in the fridge during the marinated, since it’s uncooked.

Be sure you preheat your grill prior to when you put the meat on it, lightly coating the grates with oil. This will ensure that the skin on the chicken won’t stick and peel off while cooking.

To prevent contamination, never ever put barbecue sauce on uncooked chicken. When you are ready to put the chicken on your grill, be sure to use a paper towel to pat off the extra marinade before it hits the grill.

After cooking it about half-way through, coat the entire chicken piece using your sauce and flip it over. The moment it has been cooked completely, coat the top with extra sauce and after around two or three minutes, flip it again. Afterward, add more sauce. When you serve the meat hot off the bbq grill, make sure you have some added sauce for those who want to get sloppy when they eat.

For an extra special flavor boost, clear away the chicken from the grill and bring it into your kitchen. Just dip the chicken in the sauce and place it in your oven, pre-heated to 375-degrees, for about eight minutes. It’s a bit more work to cook it in this way, but the taste can be really worth the extra effort.

For individuals who love creating their own tastes, you could choose to add more ingredients to your Bbq sauce. Many people today decide to use cinnamon, sugar or mustard when they are cooking with sweet barbecue sauce. Needless to say, spicy bar-b-q sauces go far better with onion, green pepper and cumin.
