SMOKED WHOLE CHICKEN WITH HONEY BBQ SAUCE



Smoked Whole Chicken with Honey BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (hot or mild, whichever you prefer)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons softened butter
One 2- to 3-pound whole chicken
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • For the BBQ seasoning: Combine the brown sugar, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Preheat your smoker or grill to 275 degrees F.
  • If using a charcoal or gas grill, prepare for two-zone cooking with heat or coals on one side of the grill and none on the other. If using a gas grill, prepare your smoking pouches by tearing off 2 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil and layering them flat on your work surface. Place two cups of dry wood chips on the center of your foil. Fold up each long side and crimp to secure. Then roll up the ends to make a sealed wood chip pouch. Poke holes in the top of your pouch to allow the heat from the fire to singe the wood chips inside the pouch and make some gorgeous smoke that will be released through the holes and add a delicious smoke flavor to your food. Repeat this process so you have a total of 3 pouches.
  • Combine the softened butter and the BBQ seasoning in a small bowl. Use your fingers to loosen the skin of the chicken and spread the seasoned butter up under the skin. Spread any remaining butter on top of the chicken skin.
  • Use butcher twine to tie the legs together and tuck the wing tips behind the shoulder joint. Place your chicken directly on the grill grates over indirect heat on your smoker or grill. Add the wood of your choice; I recommend apple, cherry, maple, or pecan. If using a grill, place the smoking pouch on the direct heat. Close the lid and smoke for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, replacing the smoking pouch as necessary. Breasts should be about 160 to 165 degrees F. The thighs should be about 170 to 175 degrees F. If needed, rotate the chicken once during smoking.
  • While your chicken is smoking, prepare your BBQ sauce. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, honey, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool.
  • Baste the chicken with the honey BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking (this is optional). Once the chicken has reached the correct internal temperature, remove it from the grill, rest for 10 minutes, slice, and serve.

HONEY BBQ WINGS-KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE - (5/5)



Honey BBQ Wings-Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by tjberens

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups catsup
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
6 to 8 cups vegetable oil
20 chicken wing pieces
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon MSG

Steps:

  • Combine the first nine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until ingredients are well-combined and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes. As sauce is simmering, heat up 6 to 8 cups of oil in a deep fryer set to 350 degrees F. Combine the beaten egg with the milk in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper and MSG. When oil is hot, dip each wing first in the flour mixture, then into the milk and egg mixture, and back into the flour. Arrange wings on a plate until each one is breaded. Fry the wings in the oil for 8 to 12 minutes or until light, golden brown. Drain on paper towels. When the sauce is done, brush the entire surface of each wing with a light coating of sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully thawed: If you're using frozen chicken, make sure it's fully thawed before cooking. This will help ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure there's enough space in the pan so that the chicken can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the chicken from cooking properly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

Honey BBQ chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a backyard barbecue. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give honey BBQ chicken a try!
