Barbeque Chicken With Grilled Squash Recipes

Steps:

• For the barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepot over medium heat, add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, onion powder, hot sauce and 1 cup water and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 1 1/2 hours.
• For the chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Lightly drizzle some olive oil onto the chicken to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. When the grill pan is hot, add the chicken and cook until char marks appear and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Toss the chicken with the barbecue sauce. Let simmer on low until ready to serve, to infuse the chicken with the flavor of the sauce.
• For the sandwich: Spread an even layer of mayonnaise on the top and bottom of a potato bun, add the chicken, a few red onion slices and 2 bread and butter pickles. Top with the other half of the potato bun.

Steps:

• Mix barbecue sauce and salad dressing together.
• Put chicken legs in a large zip-top bag and pour sauce all over them. Squeeze out the excess air and seal the bag. Massage marinade into the chicken a bit, then refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Remove chicken from the refrigerator; set bag on the counter and bring to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate. Load a smoker box with wood chips and set on the grate.
• Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then flip, basting both sides with the remaining marinade.
• Continue to cook (with the lid closed and listening for flare-ups) until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken to a platter and tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large bowl. Add barbecue sauce; toss. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Place the water in a large saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon salt and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until potatoes are almost tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain; halve. Set aside.
• Thread 4 cubes of chicken, alternating with potatoes and squash, on each of 8 skewers. Gently brush vegetables with a little olive oil. Season with remaining 1/2 tablespoon salt and the pepper.
• Arrange skewers, off direct heat, on a medium-hot grill. Grill, rotating skewers and brushing with olive oil as necessary to prevent sticking, until cooked through, about 12 minutes depending on heat of grill. Vegetables should be soft and slightly charred. Serve with choice of condiments.
