Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 (3 1/2-4 lb) roasting chickens, quartered
2 quarts water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed with side of large knife
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 slice bacon
1 bunch fresh thyme
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 onion
2 garlic cloves
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Brine the chicken as follows: Combine water, salt, sugar, garlic, and thyme in a 2-gallon sized resealable plastic bag.
  • Add the chicken, close the bag and refrigerate 2 hours (if you've got only 15 minutes, that's fine) to allow the salt and seasonings to penetrate the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce as follows: Wrap the bacon around the bunch of thyme and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook slowly 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a smoky taste.
  • Add the onion and garlic. Cook slowly without coloring for 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low.
  • Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Cook the chicken as follows: Preheat an outdoor gast or charcoal barbecue to medium heat.
  • Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.
  • Remove the chicken from the brine, pat the chicken dry on the paper towels.
  • Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook,turn once mid way, and cook for a total of 15 minutes.
  • Serve with extra sauce.

This recipe is a great base, but I like to add my own spin on it. I add a little bit of cayenne pepper and smoked paprika to the sauce for a little extra kick.

My chicken turned out a little dry. I think I cooked it for too long.
