Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Thighs

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups ketchup
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons safflower oil
6 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 12)
1 large yellow onion, finely diced
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 bottle (11 ounces) lager beer, such as Stella Artois (1 1/3 cups)
8 potato sandwich buns, preferably Martin's

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Working in three batches, and adding remaining 1 tablespoon oil as necessary, sear chicken until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Drain all but 1 tablespoon oil from Dutch oven; reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add beer and barbecue sauce; stir until combined. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour. Turn off heat.

  • Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. (You should have about 3 cups.) Mash garlic with a potato masher until broken down. Return shredded chicken to Dutch oven and heat through, or let cool to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days (gently reheat before serving). Serve on potato buns.

ROCKY MOUNT, NC BBQ CHICKEN (SANDWICHES)



Rocky Mount, Nc BBQ Chicken (Sandwiches) image

Sweet and sticky with a kick of heat, this easy recipe is quite common around parts of eastern NC. This recipe is always grilled outdoors as the vinegar in the air is quite strong at times. It is traditionally eaten between two slices of white bread, eating around the bone to keep your fingers clean, and no worries about biting into a napkin!

Provided by 2Bleu

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole chicken, cut up (bone-in, skin on)
2 cups cider vinegar
2 -3 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup honey mustard (equal parts or to your liking)
12 -16 slices white bread

Steps:

  • Do this a day or two before to meld flavors: Put crushed red pepper into the vinegar bottle (using a shaker type bottle or punch holes into the vinegar cap with a knife or fat nail). How much of the crushed pepper you let out onto the chicken is up to you, dependent on how big the holes are.
  • This recipe is normally cooked with the grill lid off. Place chicken pieces on the grill, and sprinkle the red pepper vinegar onto the chicken and also frequently during cooking and flare-ups. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked thru, turning occasionally. About 45 min to 1 hour.
  • When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, baste both sides of chicken with the honey mustard sauce. cover grill and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve between 1-2 slices of white bread and eat sandwich style around the bones.

I love bbq chicken, but dealing with bones and all can get to be too much! This is simple and so delicious!

Provided by Catherine Cantrell

Categories     Chicken

Time 7h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breast
12 oz bbq sauce
1/4 c brown sugar
3/4 c italian dressing
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
pepper to taste
3-4 dash(es) chicken salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place chicken in sprayed crock pot. Pour dressing and bbq sauce on top. Then worcestershire sauce, pepper and brown sugar.
  • 2. Cover and cook on LOW 7-8 hours. Break all chicken apart and stir up well letting the meat take on the excess juices and sauce.
  • 3. I served these on Hawaiian burger buns with slaw. My chicken was perfect at 7 hours. Enjoy!!!!

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful BBQ sauce. This is the key to making delicious BBQ chicken sandwiches. Choose a sauce that has a good balance of sweetness, smokiness, and tanginess.
  • Cook the chicken properly. The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good bun. The bun should be sturdy enough to hold up to the BBQ sauce and chicken, but it should also be soft and fluffy.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Classic toppings for BBQ chicken sandwiches include coleslaw, pickles, and onions. You can also get creative and add your own favorite toppings, such as avocado, bacon, or cheese.
