Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Small bunch fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
2 pounds bone-in skinless chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs and breasts, halved
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir the water, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon syrup until dissolved. Stir in the thyme. Smash 3 cloves of garlic and add to the brine with the chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours. Mince the remaining clove of garlic and add to a medium pot with the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons syrup, chipotles, chili powder and salt, to taste. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of the sauce for serving. Prepare the grill or grill pan for direct/high heat. Oil the grill grates. Drain the chicken and very pat dry. Grill, turning, until no longer pink near the bone, 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken pieces). Brush with sauce generously as it cooks during the second half of the cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce on the side.

MAPLE BARBECUE GRILLED CHICKEN



Maple Barbecue Grilled Chicken image

Sweet, sticky, charred, and crispy: Barbecued chicken is one of the surest signs of summer. Store-bought sauce has nothing on this easy homemade version, which uses maple syrup for sweetness and Sriracha for heat. Use whatever bone-in chicken parts you like and save the leftover sauce for everything else you plan to grill this week.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
6 Tbsp. double-concentrated tomato paste
½ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
4 tsp. Sriracha or other hot sauce
Vegetable oil (for grill)
1 (3½-4-lb.) whole chicken, cut into 6-8 pieces, or whatever bone-in cut of chicken you feel like cooking
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium. Cook garlic, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly and scraping bottom of pan, until slightly darkened, about 3 minutes. Add maple syrup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and Sriracha. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have come together, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Transfer about half of barbecue sauce to a heatproof bowl and set aside for serving.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off); oil grate. Season chicken generously with salt. Grill chicken over direct heat, turning every minute, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Move chicken over indirect heat. Cover, positioning vent (if your grill has one) over chicken, and continue to grill, keeping grill covered as much as possible and turning every 5 minutes or so, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F-145°F, 18-25 minutes depending on the size of the pieces. Baste chicken with barbecue sauce and grill, turning and basting occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°F for breast and 165°F for dark meat, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Arrange chicken on a platter. Serve with reserved barbecue sauce alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Barbecue sauce can be made 2 weeks ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Make sure your grill is hot: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and will give it a nice sear.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the chicken plenty of space on the grill so that it can cook evenly. If the grill is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of grilling.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked through, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken recipe with maple chipotle BBQ sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is smoky, sweet, and slightly spicy. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
