The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet

Last night I hosted fathers day at our house. We had about 23 friends and family over (the regulars). It was pot luck and everyone brought all kinds of delicious appetizers, salads, deserts and my wife made potato salad which is always the highlight for me, but my grilling (chicken bbq) did receive some good praise as well and I want to pass on to you a real simple recipe that never lets me down when I am grilling chicken and is easy to do.

The recipe is from The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet: A Month of Meals Made Easy . It has some really good recipes and some great advice and worksheets for those of you who want to cook ahead and freeze dishes or prepped food, like this chicken marinade. You can freeze chicken pieces in this marinade, then grill or bake or use in fajitas or stir fries. I took frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts and popped open the bags, put this marinade in and let them marinate while they thawed overnight in my frig.

This makes about 3 cups of marinade. I cut back a bit on the soy sauce as it seemed like way too much sodium and the chicken does not taste too salty, just very flavorful.

• 2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbs dry mustard
• 1 cup olive oil (extra virgin if you have it)
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 ½ tsp minced garlic
• 2 tsp dried parsley

Simple but effective, guaranteed to make people smile. Mix it up and pour over chicken pieces in a gallon freezer bag. Freeze and pull out later, or pour over frozen chicken and let marinate while it thaws.

Barbeque Chicken On The Grill - Recipe

At The Coop I am often asked, what is a good way to barbeque chicken at home? Even though we use our famous rotisserie formula to seal in the natural flavor of chicken we still can appreciate the home cooked BBQ that takes advantage of the flavor from a coal fire. At the Coop when catering large parties outside the restaurant we barbeque with mesquite when the opportunity arises. This is a recipe that has been used by us and many others to great success:

Barbeque Chicken on the Grill

Crispy skin smothered in sticky barbeque sauce…I personally don’t think nature has made a better wrapper for juicy white meat chicken. Sure, grilled boneless chicken breasts are healthier and cook quicker, but I love to get my fingers dirty and pick the meat off the bones of barbeque chicken. Grilling this type of chicken doesn’t get much easier either. All you have to do is set your grill up for indirect heat, lightly season your split chicken breasts, slap them on the grill and then check back about 35 minutes later to add your sauce. For more flavor, we suggest putting together a smoke pouch for your gas grill. Sounds easy right? It really is, let’s take a look at the steps:

Ingredients:-

Split Chicken Breasts (on the ribs with skin)
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Smoke Pouch (optional, though recommended)

Easy Directions for Barbeque Chicken

1. Preheat the grill for indirect heat. If you have a 3 or 4 burner set up, leave the middle burner(s) off and light the others to high (we may adjust these later, some grills get hotter than others).
2. While the grill is heating up, rub the chicken breasts with some Kosher salt and black pepper. It’s best to leave the chicken breasts out for 30 minutes or so before grilling, if you have time, so that the chicken cooks through evenly.
3. If using a smoke pouch, go ahead and prepare the pouch and place it on the grill.
4. Once the grill is heated (if using a smoke pouch, wait until the smoke starts to appear), place the chicken breasts on the grill with the bones facing down.
5. Close the grill and sit back and dream about barbeque chicken for about 35 minutes and don’t open the lid!
6. After about 35 minutes, open the lid and brush your favorite barbeque sauce onto the top of the chicken.
7. Close the lid and cook for another 10 minutes or so. Make sure you check your chicken after about 5 minutes. Barbecue sauce has a lot of sugar and sugar burns, so we need to be careful not to burn the sauce at this point.
8. 10 minutes should be plenty of time to heat up that delicious barbeque and form a little bit of a glaze on the chicken. Go ahead and remove the chicken from the grill and place on a platter to enjoy!

If you do happen to burn your barbeque chicken, the good news is that you can always peel off the skin, smother it with more sauce and you should be able to salvage a delicious meal. Of course, some of us like our skin a little charred and crispy, but that’s up to your personal tastes. The bottom line is that barbecue chicken is pretty forgiving and very low maintenance grilling. How many more reasons do you need to go out and make some finger licking good, shirt staining barbeque chicken breasts? Get grilling! And if you don’t want to get dirty please give the Coop a call, we would be happy to do the grilling for you.
