GARLIC-ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS
Thick chicken breasts can be hard to get just right; often you're left with a too-dry, too-bland dinner. But this high-heat roasting method results in crisp, crackly skin that gives way to moist flesh, perfumed throughout by a pocket filled with herbed garlic paste.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in upper third.
- Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in oregano, red-pepper flakes, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Cut a 2-inch-long pocket (about 1 1/2 inches deep) horizontally in side of each breast half and spread 1/2 teaspoon garlic mixture into each pocket. Coat chicken with remaining garlic mixture.
- Roast chicken, skin sides up, in a foil-lined large shallow baking pan until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:
- To make the brine: in a large nonreactive bowl combine the bourbon, salt, brown sugar, lemon slices, garlic, peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and 4 cups water; whisk until salt and brown sugar dissolve.
- Trim any sinews or excess fat off the breasts; rinse breasts under cold running water, then drain.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-lock plastic bag; add in the brine.
- Let breasts brine in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, turning breasts twice so they brine evenly.
- Set up grill for direct grilling and preheat to high-if using a gas grill, place all the wood chips in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run grill on high until you see smoke; if using a charcoal grill, preheat it to high, then toss all of the wood chips on the coals.
- When ready to grill, drain the brine off the chicken and blot the breasts dry with paper towels; discard brine.
- Lightly brush both sides of the breasts with the melted butter; brush and oil the grill grate, then arrange chicken breasts on the hot grate, placing them on a diagonal to the bars.
- Grill the breasts for 2 minutes, then rotate them a quarter turn to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks.
- Continue grilling the breasts on that side for 2 minutes longer.
- Turn breasts over and grill until cooked through, 4-6 minutes longer, again rotating them after 2 minutes to create grill marks.
- **The total cooking time will be 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breasts.
- Test for doneness-poke a breast in the thickest part with your finger; it should feel firm to the touch; or to be safe, you can insert a thermometer in one end-170° is done.
- Transfer grilled breasts to a platter and serve at once with your favorite barbecue sauce.

STEVEN RAICHLEN'S BRINED CHICKEN..WORTH THE TIME!!
Steven Raichlen's Brined Chicken I love the way Steven Raichlen, author of "The Barbecue! Bible," uses brining to tenderize meat and to add flavor. I also love the way the sugar in the brine caramelizes the chicken as it grills.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken under cold, running water and blot dry with paper towels. Arrange in a nonreactive baking dish.
- Make the brine: Place the salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, chili pepper and bay leaves in a large, nonreactive bowl. Add the hot water, then whisk until the salt and brown sugar dissolve; stir in the cold water. Let brine come to room temperature.
- Pour over the chicken and stir in the lemon slices, onion and garlic. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning the chicken once or twice.
- Preheat the grill until coals are hot. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grate.
- Arrange the breasts on the hot grate, all facing the same direction, at a 45-degree angle to the bars of the grate.
- Cook the chicken over high heat, 4 to 6 minutes per side, rotating the breasts 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks. (To test for doneness, remove a breast from the grill and poke the thickest part with your finger. It should feel firm to the touch.)
- Transfer the chicken to a decorative platter and serve.

- In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the chicken and lemon wedges and process to a paste. Spread the paste all over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
- Light a charcoal grill. When the coals are hot, move them to one side of the grill to create a high-heat zone. Oil the grate and place the chicken on it, skin side up, opposite the coals. Cover and grill the chicken until browned and just cooked through, about 30 minutes. Turn the breasts over and grill over high heat until the skin is crisp and lightly charred, about 2 minutes longer. Let the breasts rest for 5 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges.
