CAROLINA-STYLE BARBECUE CHICKEN



Carolina-Style Barbecue Chicken image

The hallmark of Carolina BBQ is a tangy sauce with a vinegar base and just a little spice, but no tomato product. While Carolina BBQ usually features pork, this recipe shows that the flavors work just as well on chicken. A little melted butter in the sauce helps balance the sharpness of the vinegar and mustard, and adds just enough thickness to cling to the meat.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/4 pounds)
Vegetable oil, for brushing

SOUTHERN BBQ CHICKEN



Southern BBQ Chicken image

Slow-grilling over indirect heat keeps this chicken moist and tender. Giving the drumsticks a long rub with seasonings makes them taste great. Always baste at the end of grilling to prevent the legs from burning.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Leg Recipes

Time 9h10m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 large cloves cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
10 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Mash brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a mortar and pestle to form a paste. Spoon paste into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, coat with the paste, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into onions; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until lightly browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
  • Turn off one of the grill burners or move the coals and move chicken so there is no heat source directly below it.
  • Baste drumsticks with the sauce and cook another 10 minutes; turn again and baste chicken with sauce. Continue to grill drumsticks until juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
