All American Bbq Rubbed Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to fit the chicken, combine the water, lemon juice and halves, salt, and sugar. Whisk until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight. If the brine does not fully cover the chicken, rotate the chicken halfway through the brining process. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl add half of the BBQ Rub and the butter. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate for a few minutes if the butter begins to melt after mixing. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Use your fingers to gently release the skin from the flesh of the breasts and legs. Spread the butter mixture evenly under the skin and over the breast and legs. Pat the remaining BBQ rub mixture all over the bird. Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan fitted with a roasting rack and bake until golden and the juices run clear, basting frequently, for about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Baste the chicken thoroughly with the drippings in pan, return to the oven, and let bake until the skin is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Carve the meat and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with Lemon and Walnut Waffles, if desired.
• Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a large bowl sift to combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and salt. In small bowl whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then add the milk, vegetable oil, lemon extract, and lemon zest. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the liquid ingredients and gently stir the batter, with a wooden spoon, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. You can use a hand beater or a stand mixer on low speed, if desired.
• In a very clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Add the remaining sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the batter. Pour about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup batter into an oiled waffle iron, sprinkle with walnuts, then close the iron. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes, depending on waffle iron settings. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat a double burner grill pan to medium-high heat.
• To spatchcock a chicken, place the bird breast-side down on a cutting board with its wing tips facing up and away from you. Feel down the back of the bird to find the spine then, using poultry shears or kitchen scissors, cut up and along the spine on each side. Remove the backbone and discard or save it to flavor a chicken stock. Flip the bird over, breast-side up. Place your hands at the center of the breast and press down to crack breastbone and flatten the bird. Trim the wing tips and discard or save for stock as well.
• In a small skillet set over medium heat, toast the caraway, cumin, coriander and black pepper until fragrant. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind to a powder. Place the spices in a small mixing bowl and add the pimento, granulated garlic, granulated onion and 2 teaspoons salt.
• Shove half of the rub under the skin and sprinkle the remainder all over the outside. Be sure to wash your hands. Spray the bird well with cooking spray.
• Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill pan to mark it, and then flip it. Place the chicken on a rack set over a baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, baste the chicken with half of the Whisky BBQ Sauce. (Place the other half of sauce in a bowl and pass at the table.) Remove from oven, let cool for 5 to 10 minutes and cut into pieces. Garnish with scallions. Serve with the Ranch Slaw.
• While the chicken is in the oven, make the Whisky BBQ Sauce. Place a small to medium pot over medium heat and add the oil. Add the garlic and onions, and cook until fragrant and translucent. Add the chicken stock, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, hot sauce, bourbon and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and reduce to thicken, about 30 minutes.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together buttermilk, sour cream, chives, dill, parsley, sugar, white wine vinegar, celery salt, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon juice and adjust the flavor if needed. Add carrots, cabbage and red onions. Stir to combine and let hang out for flavors to come together. Set aside.

Steps:

• Whisk brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, coarse salt, cumin, hickory salt, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seeds, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to mix. (Actually, your hands work better for mixing than a spoon or whisk does. Use your fingers to break up any lump of brown sugar.) Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light; it will keep for at least 6 months.
