This is a
recipe I put together a while back and have been making ever since. My husband
says this is my best chicken recipe :)
INGREDIENTS
2 (1 pound
each) “bone in” “skin on” chicken pieces (thighs with leg attached or breasts)
1/3 cup GF BBQ
sauce
4 cloves
garlic processed through garlic press
1/4 cup
apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup
brown sugar
1/4 cup
vegetable oil
2 teaspoons
smoked paprika
1 teaspoon
dried thyme
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1/2
teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
Place the
garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, paprika, thyme, oregano and salt
in a large re-sealable plastic bag and mix well.
Add the
chicken pieces and swish together to coat the chicken well.
Seal the
bag taking out as much of the air as possible and marinate in the refrigerator
for 6 to 8 hours, turning every hour.
Pour the
contents of the bag in a microwaveable casserole dish and microwave on high for
15 minutes, turning over the chicken every 5 minutes.
Remove the
chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
Place the
chicken pieces over direct heat of a preheated grill and brush generously with
BBQ sauce and cook for a few minutes, turn over and brush with more BBQ sauce
and cook for a few more minutes.
Brush the
remainder of the sauce over the chicken pieces and move to indirect heat and
cook for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the sauce has baked on to the
chicken.
Enjoy!

Oh...my...goodness...this is so good...I don't know where to start...I used a game hen...22oz...I cut it in half for the hubby and I...I cut the recipe down to 2/3...worked great...the marinade is wonderful...the meat came out so moist and full of flavor...and to top that off...you cook it in the microwave...that makes it so easy...I would love to use this for all my poultry...throwing it on grill and coating it with your bbq sauce makes it look like you have slaved over the grill all day...this is a keeper and its going on my best of 2015 list...I just wish you could see my photo...made for FYC tag game...TeresaS
ReplyDeleteThx a bunch for posting your comment, it is greatly appreciated. Happy to see you enjoyed my BBQ chicken.
DeleteYummy!!! I doubled the recipe and it worked very well. I have never partially cooked the chicken in the microwave, but found that it worked very well. The marinade gave the chicken a wonderful flavor and then the bbq sauce was a bonus. Delicious. Perfect directions. Thank you, LifeIsGood
ReplyDeleteThx so much for taking the time to comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed my BBQ chicken.
DeleteLoved it! I was scared my chicken wouldn't be done.....have never microwaved chicken....guess I'm old school. Used to cooking chicken quarters over indirect heat for quite a while. The marinade was perfect.....took it to work with me so I could flip it every hour. Worth the effort. I normally use white barbecue sauce with chicken, and think I'll go back to that, but enjoyed the regular sauce as well. Thanks for sharing! Made for FYC tag game. Thanks for sharing! breezermom

DeleteThis was a delicious chicken. Like some others, I had never partially cooked my chicken in the microwave before so I was really curious how it would turn out. It worked perfectly and a great way to prepare it. Thanks for sharing, Bea. Made for Best of 2015 tag.

DeleteWow! I've found my new go to recipe for BBQ chicken! The marinade really is the star of the show. Other than adding a 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke I mixed the marinade as directed. Love, love the way this turned out & had nothing but compliments from the other diners. Made for FYC tag at Food, Friends, & Fun. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Susie D
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed my BBQ chicken recipe, it is a favorite here. Thx for taking the time to comment, it is greatly appreciated :-)
DeleteMade for the FYC Tag Game at FF&F as the “1st half of a 2-part chicken feast” after buying chicken breasts on sale & I can see why this recipe is so favored by your hubby. Like other reviewers, I’ve never microwaved chicken as a cooking process. BUT this marinade is easily the STAR of the show & makes the chicken so flavorful that it hardly needs the BBQ sauce. I know because I cut a cpl of tenders off 1 very lrg breast so I could do a taste test w/o BBQ sauce when cooking was completed. I had a hard time discarding the marinade that had been combined w/the meat juices & created such a lovely aroma. The cooking process takes over for the marinade & creates a tender/moist outcome that is unusual for the normally dry breast meat. Served w/some glazed carrot coins plus leftover potato hash, this chicken made a great meal. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. (Mary Pat, aka twissis)

I have made Bea's BBQ chicken a few times and it's good each time. I've marinated as much as 48 hours and I feel that the marinating is essential for deep flavored results. Another winner from Queen Bea!
