Black Jack Chicken Breasts on the Grill - CIA image

Entered for safe-keeping. Adapted from CIA Culinary Intelligence (Culinary Institute of America). Their Black Jack Barbecue Sauce has been scaled down to 2 cups to fit this recipe. Modified their 1/8 cup chili powder to equivalent of Dee514's Recipe #38558 #38558. Preparation time includes 2 hours marination time, so I did not add additional cooking time for the barbecue sauce to be made in the interim. Apple cider, coffee, Worcestershire sauce, and jalapeno -- isn't that a different combo! I'd say this dish nods to Cajun roots.

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced small
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon jalapeno, minced (or to taste)
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup brewed strong coffee
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce (preferably Lea & Perrins, use low-sodium version to reduce sodium somewhat)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/4 cup apple cider or 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
8 chicken breasts, bone in and skin on
1 teaspoon salt (Recipe #334780 #334780) or 1 teaspoon no-salt no-potassium salt substitute (Don's Flavor Enhancer With Very Low Sodium #334780)

Steps:

  • MARINADE:.
  • Combine ingredients in a zip-close bag. Add chicken pieces and seal the bag, pressing out the air. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 and up to 12 hours.
  • BARBECUE SAUCE:.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chili powder ingredients (paprika, oregano, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, and cayenne), and the minced jalapeno, and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the BBQ sauce ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use immediately, or let cool to room temperature before storing in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • COOK CHICKEN:.
  • Preheat a gas grill to medium-high; leave one burner off. If you are using a charcoal grill, build a fire and let it burn down until the coals are glowing red with a moderate coating of white ash.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drain off.
  • Season chicken with remaining salt and pepper.
  • Grill chicken over direct heat until marked on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Finish cooking the chicken over indirect heat, covered, turning every few minutes and brushing with the barbecue sauce, until the chicken is cooked through (165F/74C) and the juices run clear, 10-15 minutes more.
  • Serve on a heated platter or plates.
