PEACH BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and caramelize, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Deglaze with the cider vinegar and reduce by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar and paprika, then bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates, then grill the peaches, flipping once, until they get a nice dark char and are soft, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Place the cooled onion mixture and grilled peaches in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place chicken on the hot grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes; flip chicken and coat grilled side of chicken with the peach BBQ sauce. Allow chicken to cook for another 5 minutes, then flip again, coating with more peach BBQ sauce.
• Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, another 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Meanwhile, toss the sweet potato slices in a bowl with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Grill, flipping once, until nicely charred and tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Arrange a few slices of grilled sweet potato on a plate, then top with some Tomato Cucumber Salad and lay a chicken breast on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with lime wedges.
• Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, avocado oil, ginger, garlic, the spices and lime juice in a large bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Toss well, then toss with the arugula.

BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate the chickens in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Heat the coals in a charcoal grill. Spread the bottom of the grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the chicken quarters on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 45 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed. The chicken quarters are done when you insert a knife between a leg and thigh and the juices run clear. Discard any unused marinade.
• Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
• Yield: 1 1/2 quarts

BLUEBERRY BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sauce: In a food processor, add blueberries, vinegar, and sugar. Pulse to break up the berries into a chunky pulp. Place mixture into a saucepan; add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, covered, 10-15 minutes.
• Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender. Make sure the lid is entirely sealed to prevent sauce from spattering while you blend. Blend the sauce to a smooth consistency, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high. When sauce is smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.
• Transfer sauce back to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, uncovered, and reduce by ¼, about 5 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon, and the viscosity should be more like maple syrup than honey. Pour into a container and cool to room temperature. Makes about 2 cups. (Sauce will keep for up to 6 months refrigerated in a lidded container.)
• Prep chicken: Lay spatchcocked chicken breast side up on a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. Season liberally on both sides with salt and pepper (about 15 turns of a pepper mill per side). Let rest at room temperature while preheating the grill, 30 minutes.
• Grill chicken: Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat, about 375 F. The coals should be ashed over in some places, with red embers burning within. Move the coals to one side of the grill to create areas of both direct and indirect heat. Place the chicken skin side up on the side of the grill over the coals (direct heat). Cover and cook, 15 minutes.
• Divide the Blue Q Sauce: half should be used for basting, while the other half should be reserved for the final baste and for serving. (If the cooled sauce has thickened too much, simply reheat in a saucepan over low heat, or briefly microwave to return to its original syrupy consistency before using.) Remove the lid. Use tongs to flip the chicken over, skin side down, onto the indirect heat side of the grill. Baste the underside of the bird with Blue Q Sauce, then gently re-position back over direct heat, still skin side down. Cover and cook, 5 minutes. Repeat this process-flipping, basting, and grilling for 5 minutes at a time, covered-2-3 more times, until chicken is fully cooked. (The leg, when tugged, should become loosened from the breast. Alternatively, a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding the bone, should register 165 F.) Discard remaining basting sauce.
• Remove chicken from the grill and place on a cutting board, skin side up. Use reserved Blue Q Sauce to baste one last time and let rest, 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into 6 or 8 pieces and drizzle once more with sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature with additional sauce on the side.

BBQ CHICKEN WITH SAUTéED PEACHES & BLUEBERRIES

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Heat 1/4 cup dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until crisp-tender. Add peaches; cook 2 to 3 min. until heated through, stirring occasionally. Stir in blueberries. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUEBERRY GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk oil, salt, paprika, chipotle pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic in a bowl to make marinade. Place chicken breasts in marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Spread sugar in a saucepan set over medium heat. Do not stir, but watch closely as sugar begins to melt after about 1 minute. As sugar melts it will gradually turn a golden color. Continue watching but not stirring. When all sugar has melted and golden color just begins to darken a bit (after 1 minute or less), remove pan from heat. Pour in vinegar and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Place pan over medium-high heat and add blueberries to the sugar-vinegar mixture. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until blueberries soften and mixture begins to thicken, 4 or 5 minutes. It should be a syrup-like consistency. If sauce seems too thin, simmer a few more minutes. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Set a strainer over a bowl. Strain berries, using a spatula to push through as much juice as possible. Discard skins.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Drain excess marinade from chicken.
• Place chicken breasts on preheated grill. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and allow to rest a few minutes.
• Serve breasts on a swirl of blueberry sauce with more sauce drizzled on top.

BBQ CHICKEN WITH PEACH BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the peach barbecue sauce: Combine the peaches, peach nectar, ketchup, molasses, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and adobo sauce in a deep saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

• For the BBQ chicken: Prepare a grill for indirect cooking over medium heat.
• Rub the chicken legs with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken over indirect heat, turning occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Baste the chicken periodically using a basting brush soaked in peach brandy; do not pour brandy directly over the grill. Ten to 15 minutes before the chicken is done, brush it generously with peach barbecue sauce. Just before removing the chicken from grill, brush a final time with barbecue sauce.
• Let the chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
