Grilled Picante Bbq Chicken Food

GRILLED CHICKEN PICCATA

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil, capers, parsley and lemon juice in a bowl. Put the chicken in a resealable bag, pour the marinade into the bag and let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Prepare a grill for two-level heat. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade; reserve the marinade. Place the chicken skin-side up on the hot side of the grill, close the lid and grill for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and grill for 1 minute, then move to the cooler side of the grill skin-side up.
• Pour the marinade and stock into a small saucepan and place on the hot side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook until the chicken measures 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes; make sure the marinade is simmering. During the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, add the lemon halves cut-side down and cook until charred in spots. Remove the chicken and lemon to a plate.
• Whisk the butter into the marinade until combined, then pour over the chicken. Serve with the grilled lemon.

GRILLED PICANTE BBQ CHICKEN

• Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken for 15 minutes or until it's cooked through, turning and brushing often with the remaining picante sauce mixture. Discard the remaining picante sauce mixture.
• Serve the chicken with the reserved picante sauce mixture.
• Tip: This simple basting sauce also makes a zesty dipping sauce for chicken wings or nuggets.Nutritional Values per Serving using Pace Picante Sauce: Vitamin A 3%DV, Vitamin C 0%DV, Calcium 1%DV, Iron 5%DV

THE ULTIMATE BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the brine, in a mixing bowl combine the water, salt, sugar, garlic, and thyme. Transfer the brine to a 2-gallon sized re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, close the bag and refrigerate 2 hours (if you've only got 15 minutes, that's fine) to allow the salt and seasonings to penetrate the chicken.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the bunch of thyme and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat about 2 tablespoons of 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 nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and 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. Once the sauce is done cooking, remove about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and reserve for serving along side the chicken at the table. The rest of the barbecue sauce will be used for basing the legs.
• Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
• Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue to a 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 nonstick surface. Take the chicken out of the brine, pat it dry on paper towels. Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook, turn once mid-way, and cook for a total of 10 minutes. Transfer the grill marked chicken to a cookie sheet and then place in the oven. Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and then brush liberally, coating every inch of the legs with the barbecue sauce and then return to the oven for 25 to 30 more minutes, basting the chicken for a second time half way through remaining cooking time. Serve with extra sauce.

BARBECUE GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup water and the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire, allspice, clove, chipotles and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to grill the chicken. (Sauce can be made up to 1 week in advance.)
• Prepare a grill for high heat and then adjust the heat to medium. Separate 3/4 cup of the barbecue sauce and reserve for serving.
• Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grate. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, until well-marked, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Cook the chicken, covered, turning and basting with the barbecue sauce every 5 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 25 minutes more. Do not baste during the last 5 minutes to prevent cross-contamination.
• Serve the chicken with the reserved sauce.
