grilling chicken with a barbecue sauce?

Posted by admin on September 29th, 2009 and filed under barbecue sauce | 8 Comments »

I have a nice jar of barbecue sauce that I’d like to use on some grilled chicken (bone-in chicken). What is the best way to grill the chicken, using the barbecue sauce, without having it turn into a black tar type mess by the end of the cooking period? (I’ve tried this process before, but I could use an expert opinion.) Please help!

Well, I’m not an expert but I have found that this method always works. Grill the chicken (skin side down)first and when it’s almost done (turn it and) you begin to baste it with the sauce. I like to alternate basting with a small spritz of diluted sauce or melted butter.
Good luck!

    The only thing you have to do is WAIT until about 15 minutes before the chicken is done. Then baste one side, and the other. Do this a few times.

    it’s always best to only baste the chicken with the sauce about 5 minutes before you are done cooking it! don’t put it on from the raw stage….and slow cooking is always best!

    it’s bes to grill the chicken FIRST and then add the bbq sauce to baste the chicken with the last 15 minutes before taking it off the grill.
    if you put the bbq sauce on while it’s cooking from start to finish of course all the bbq sauce will burn the chicken…it’s full of sugars that makes it turn black and tastes nasty.

    Cook the chicken until done. Add the BBQ sauce on one side and let it steam with the lid on with indirect heat about 5 minutes. Turn it over and do the same on the other side.
    Enjoy!

    This is what I do with every meat I cook on the grill.

    Cook it til it’s almost done and then brush on the sauce and continue cooking til the sauce is hot.

    Do NOT grill the chicken with the BBQ sauce on it, or the sauce will burn! You just put a little on the last few minutes, and serve the rest on it after you take it off the grill. I always dry rub my chicken (chili powder, garlic salt, paprika, cumin, pepper, oregano) and then just brush with the BBQ sauce a minute or 2 before it’s done……..
