BBQ Chicken Recipes

I love me some Outback! You know what I mean! Outback is amazing! I don't think there are many steakhouses that can top Outback when it comes to steak. Ruth Chris steakhouse comes to mind, but I really don't have the money to eat there! With the tough economic times, I can barely afford to dine at Outback. Fortunately, I can still feel like I am eating at Outback by making Outback Steakhouse recipes at home. Here are my three top three Outback Steakhouse recipes you can make from home!

People strive to find recipes that provide delicious and healthy food. Health-conscious people focus on preparing low-fat dishes that are delicious and easily prepared. Chicken is an excellent source of protein and at the same time low in fat. Using healthy chicken recipes will significantly lower the blood cholesterol, thereby improving your overall health and fitness level. People love this versatile meat, which can be prepared in various lip-smacking forms.

Be it a healthy chicken salad or any other chicken recipe, choosing the right chicken for your dish is very important .If you opt for the cheap battery-reared chicken, you will get a greasy and stringy dish with a flat taste. These chickens are fed on a high-calorie diet that gives them a lot of fat but no muscle. On the other hand, choosing an organic chicken will give you firm and full-flavored meat. Organic birds are raised on a better diet and roam free under better and more humane conditions. This chicken will obviously cost more but will give you better taste and quality.

To further decrease the level of fat, you can trim off some areas, especially on the thighs, and enjoy a healthier meal. You should never leave raw chicken at room temperature. To prevent contamination, always wash chicken with cold water. Store it in the coldest part of the refrigerator and use within two days. Similarly, cooked chicken shouldn’t be left out for more than two hours. Frozen chicken can easily sit in your freezer for one year without any harm.

A little creativity in your kitchen can whip up new low-fat and healthy chicken recipes for your entire family. If you cannot find a particular ingredient, try replacing it with some substitute and see the all-new dish prepared exclusively by you. While preparing food, follow basic safety rules and avoid accidents in your kitchen. This will ensure you safely prepare tasty meals for everyday consumption focused towards a healthy and long life.

Chicken is one of my favorite meats to cook. It is low in fat, high in protein, and if cooked correctly, it will definitely be a crowd pleaser. There are many different recipes for grilling and smoking chicken, and I have included my two favorite recipes below. I am known as The Smoker King, and I am the author and Webmaster of “Outdoor Cooking: Barbeque, Sauces, Mops, Rubs,” so you can bet that my favorite way to cook chicken is outdoors, on a grill or smoker.

smoking chicken too.

Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken

Ingredients:

4-Chicken Breasts 2-Cups of Margarita Mix (I prefer Mr. and Mrs. T's) 1/2-Cup Vinegar 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1-Tbsp Onion Powder 1-Tbsp Garlic Powder 1-Tbsp Cajun Seasoning Lemon Pepper

Option for a kicked up version: Add one shot of Tequila

Recipe:

1. Trim chicken breasts to remove fat 2. Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, pound the each chicken breast until they are about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick. 3. Mix all ingredients into a bowl just big enough to hold the chicken breasts while they are completely covered in the marinade. 4. Add chicken breasts, and refrigerate for 1/2 to 1 hour. The longer they stay in the marinade, the more Tequila lime taste they will have. 5. Season both sides of the chicken with Lemon Pepper before grilling. 6. Grill over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes per side. Times may vary depending on heat, just make sure that the meat is white throughout the breast,
and the juices run clear.

This is a great recipe for chicken fajitas.

Here is my recipe for Cajun smoked, beer-can chicken.

Injection Ingredients:

1. A 3 or 4 pound chicken 2. 1/2 cup melted butter (room temperature) 3. 2 tablespoons of Tony Chachere's seasoning (more for a spicier chicken) 4. 1-teaspoon garlic powder 5. 1/2 cup vinegar

Rub Ingredients:

1. Olive oil 2. Tony Chachere's seasoning.

Mop Ingredients:

1. Apple Cider 2. A Spray Bottle

Other:

1. A beer of your choice (1/2 full) 2. 3 cloves of garlic 3. About 3 tablespoons of chopped garlic

Directions:

1. Whisk all injection ingredients together. 2. Using a kitchen syringe, inject the liquid into various spots on the chicken. Try to be even as possible, injecting about 1/2 of the mixture into the breasts, and the other 1/2 throughout the rest of the chicken. 3. Rub the chicken down with olive oil, and apply an even layer of Tony's to the bird. 4. Drink half of the beer, widen the opening at the top of the can, then put the garlic and onion in the can. 5. Place the bird on the can. It should sit up by itself. 6. Preheat your smoker to about 250 F degrees. I use hickory for chicken, charcoal works well too. 7. Put the chicken on the smoker and spray the chicken with the apple cider about every 30 minutes. 8. Smoke the chicken for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest meat reaches 180 F Degrees.

I hope you enjoy both recipes as much as I do. You can find many more at my website listed below.

Outback Restaurant has some of the best chicken entrees in the restaurant industry. I know what you are thinking. Isn't Outback a steak house? Well, it is a steakhouse, but Outback Restaurant Chicken recipes are just as good as their steaks. My wife is not a big steak person, so I can take her with me to Outback to order chicken. I order a steak, and she orders a chicken recipe. Recently I tried Outback chicken, and I was amazed at how great it was. Now I am trying all of their chicken recipes.

There are three entrees that I recommend. If you are not going to order steak at Outback, you MUST try the Alice Springs Chicken. This is one of the most popular items on the menu. The Alice Springs chicken is grilled and it includes bacon, sauteed mushrooms, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese smothered with honey mustard sauce. To top it off, you get a heaping serving of Outback mashed potatoes. You can not go wrong with this entree (unless you are on a diet!) Even if you are planning to order steak, you can order the appetizer version of this dish, the Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla appetizer.

Outback has other chicken entrees if you want to watch the calories. Try the Chicken on the Barbie. This delicious recipe includes BBQ sauce instead of honey mustard and it includes veggies instead of mashed potatoes. If you love your BBQ sauce with chicken, then I personally recommend this entree. The grilled chicken will be served nice and juicy.

Lastly, I would like to recommend the classic Chicken Caesar salad. The Outback restaurant Caesar salad is NOT just another salad, and if you order this side item, you will see what I mean!

Outback is one of my favorite restaurants. Their steak is juicy and delicious, but their chicken recipe entrees are just as good. The next time you go down to the land down under, I recommend you try one of these entrees I have suggested!

Good food need not be expensive. It is really a good thing that the Internet has been introduced. This information highway can certainly provide a lot of information.

Now, people can cook their favorite foods with the guidance of recipes found online. All that one has to do is to find a famous restaurant recipe and off he goes to the kitchen. Take Chicken ala King for example. Simply follow the instructions below.

Ingredients:

• Three tablespoons of unbleached flour
• 1 and ½ cups of milk
• 1 and ½ teaspoon of instant chicken bouillon
• 2 cups of cubed chicken, cooked
• 2 cup of pea, frozen
• 1 jar of pimiento
• And 1/8 teaspoon of pepper

Preparation:

Combine the flour with 1/2 of the cup of milk. Cover the container and mix it well by shaking, there has to be no lumps.

Pour it in a saucepan with the remaining milk bad add the chicken bouillon. And water and bring to a boil. Stir the mixture constantly until you get a thick sauce. Lower the heat and then add the remaining ingredients to the sauce. Continue stirring so the sauce will not stick to the pan. Serve hot.

This means that you can decide what food to cook and balance your family's intake of nutrients. You can cook an easy and healthy famous restaurant recipe at home.

Chicken is my nations most popular meat however when it comes to the barbecue it's probably less popular because people are more concerned to ensure that the meat is properly cooked. I've known some even to pre-cook chicken in the microwave first but this really isn't necessary if you follow the basic rules that I've set out before.

Just to re-iterate one point when using a charcoal barbecue grill, always give the coals time to settle before starting to cook (about 45 minutes) because despite chicken being described as a lean meat, the fat that is under the skin mobilizes very quickly and makes for serious flames. You don't get beautiful barbecue chicken with a crispy skin but raw chicken with what looks like an dirty oily coating, best described as a health hazard.

So when it comes to how to barbecue chicken there are essentially four different styles, rotisserie, spatchcock, smoker or roast, the fist two are the ones I'm going to concentrate on being specifically for the grill. Hopefully smoked chicken is self explanatory and roast chicken is great in a kamado ceramic BBQ but maybe that's for another day.

Rotisserie

Rotisserie is when you barbecue chicken on a spit roaster and rotate it over the heat so effectively grilling and continually turning to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly all over. Rotisserie is probably the most difficult way to barbecue chicken because it's not so easy to tell when the chicken is done and it's important to ensure that the inner cavity is cooked. This means that it needs to be cooked well and for longer than if you were roasting the bird but that doesn't mean that it's going to be dry. The secret is to ensure that your barbecue chicken is basted every 15 minutes with the juices in the drip tray. Check for good cooking either by using a BBQ thermometer or simply stabbing the thigh with a skewer and when the juices run clear (no blood) then it's done. If using a barbecue thermometer then you're looking for a breast temp of 165°F and 180°F in the thigh and wing.

Spatchcock

This is my preferred way of how to barbecue chicken because it's relatively quick (about 45 - 50 minutes) and because the cavity is exposed, you're guaranteed to have the inside well cooked. The challenge is in the preparation because you've got to cut the chicken down either the backbone or the breast bone and this is best done with shears or a sharp knife. When using a knife I tend to cut the breast bone because it's easier. When you finished cutting, flatten the bird and place it in a BBQ basket and then you're ready for the grill, 25 minutes each side and then your done. TIP - less fat drips from the inside of the chicken so cook this side first.

Both the above are essentially grill techniques and to simply turn these into full blown barbecue chicken recipes then simply season with salt and pepper. This will add flavor but most importantly the salt will help crisp up the skin - not the most healthy part of the chicken but certainly tasty. If you then want to enhance the recipe then break out your favorite homemade barbecue sauce.

Here's simple Coke or Beer Can BBQ Chicken recipes you can make :

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon granulated onion
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Open the Coke or Beer can and pour off about ⅓ of the Coke or Beer. Set the partially emptied can on a flat surface and place the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity of the chicken. Move the chicken to the grill, keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the chicken over the Coke or Beer can. Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170°F in the breast and 180°F in the thickest part of the thigh, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Either wear oven mitts or grab two oven pads, carefully remove the chicken and the can from the grill, and be careful not to spill the Coke or Beer because it will be hot and could burn you. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can. Discard the Coke or Beer. Cut the chicken up to your desire and right away.

Serves 4 to 6

Note: For a sweeter chicken use Coke.

Chicken and beer are good on its own. But I bet they are great together. There have been a lot of recipes that uses beer instead of wine. A good beer and chicken recipe is a great addition for your Sunday barbeque party. Beer has sugar in it and sugar is known to tenderize the meat, by putting beer into your regular chicken recipe, you will have a wonderful eating experience.

Many recipes require you to add wine or soda or sometimes even fresh fruit. Beer works the same as lemon, it makes the meat tender; but by using beer, it leaves a distinct taste and jazzes up your old recipe. Beer and chicken recipes are slowly getting popular and working their way up to every kitchen's favorite.

Beer has been known to be utilized in several recipes. There are steaks marinated in beer, bread made of flour and beer and seafood cooked in beer sauce. But I guess, the best one is always the simplest; good old beer can chicken recipe. Here are some recipes that you can try at home:

You don't have to be a grilling pro to cook like one. So many recipes on the grill only call for a few things to make them phenomenal: fresh ingredients, the right seasoning, and proper cooking time. Just three little things to remember and your food will surprise everyone. One of the most versatile foods in the entire world is chicken. This fine feathered friend of ours has been prepared thousands of ways over hundreds of years. One of America's favorite ways to eat chicken is barbequed. It's so simple and delicious, yet people tend to get the formula wrong and their chicken comes out tasting like rubber smothered in ketchup.

The first thing people do wrong is overcook the chicken. They leave the poor little pieces of chicken on the grill for hours until there's nothing left but dehydrated meat and bone. You want to cook your chicken only to 170 degrees, never more. The idea is to let the chicken rest. Carryover heat will increase the temperature to 180 degrees, the safe point at which you can eat chicken. Chicken will remain juicy as long as it's not overcooked. Don't worry about drying it out. As long as it cook it the proper length of time, it will be just fine.

Ultimate BBQ Chicken:

This BBQ chicken recipe is really simple and super delicious. The first thing we'll want to do is to go shopping. I personally like chicken thighs for this recipe, but you can choose what you wish. Make sure to grab a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. The trick here is in the seasoning, we won't need to make a fancy sauce for these. The seasoning consists of salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, rep pepper, and some old bay seasoning. Whatever you don't have already, pick some up.

We want to start the night before you grill and begin to season the chicken. We'll need to make a quick spice rub. To do this, take two tablespoons of salt and black pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and old bay, and a ½ teaspoon of red pepper. Combine all these ingredients in a bag or a container, and that's it. Wash the chicken pieces and let dry thoroughly. After they're completely dry, rub the chicken liberally with the seasoning. Wrap your chicken in foil or plastic wrap, place in a leak-proof container, and let it sit overnight. Be careful to never cross contaminate when dealing with raw poultry.

On the day you're ready to grill, cut your burners on medium heat. After your grill heats up, oil the racks well and place your chicken pieces skin side down. Once they start to cook, close the lid. Check on them every 5 minutes or so to make sure they're not burning. All together, we want to give them 15 minutes on the skin side. After that, turn over and repeat the checking and waiting process. Let them go for another 15 minutes and them begin to sauce your chicken.

Saucing is the last step. Make sure you keep a close eye on your chicken, the BBQ sauce will burn quickly due to its high sugar content. After you finish saucing one side of the chicken and turning it over, the pieces should be ready to turn back over after saucing the opposite side. They should only take about 3 minutes on each side to cook the sauce on. Be careful taking the chicken pieces off of the grill. This recipe is really simple. It's all in the seasoning. These seasonings play very well with chicken, especially BBQ. The paprika has a nice, deep smoky taste. This recipe will be a hit with even the toughest crowds.

So, you want to know how to cook BBQ Chicken? This is one of the best summer foods available, but can also be a special treat all year round! The secret to how to cook BBQ chicken is simple...

...Cook over low heat, brush on the sauce after the chicken has cooked, and then serve. If you baste with barbecue sauce while cooking you may burn the sugars in the sauce and create a black, bitter barbecued chicken.

That's it! Simple wasn't it?! But, if you want more detail, read on...

Great barbecued chicken, with moist, tender succulent meat and sticky smoky skin, is made by cooking over low heat using a grill. You can get a great depth of flavour by using a spicy barbeque rub on the chicken before grilling. Salt and pepper can also be used in the same way. Salt will aid in keeping the moisture in the chicken while grilling and pepper will add to the aroma and bite.

Preparing the charcoal

A grilling temperature between 230° and 250°F, is optimal, to achieve this, stack charcoal in a pile in the centre of grill. Douse with lighter fluid and let it soak in. Light and leave it alone until grey ash has covered all visible charcoal. Spread out charcoal into an even layer and when it has an even layer of ash approximately 1/2 the depth of a charcoal briquette you are ready to grill. The actual grill should be at about 4 or 5 inches above the coals.

Cooking

Slowly cook the chicken until internal temperature is approximately 170 degrees and then add a BBQ sauce of your choice. Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the sauce to stick to the chicken and then remove from the heat.

BBQ Chicken Recipe

Now, here's a great little recipe for "Honey BBQ Chicken", which you don't need to cook on the BBQ; it's especially great for those wintery days of the year to remind you of summer!

Ingredients:

• Chicken wings
• Seasoned salt
• Adobo
• Garlic salt
• Garlic powder
• Honey
• BBQ sauce
• Oil
• Salt and flour
• Grated Almonds

Put the oil in the frying pan and turn the stove to medium heat while you season your chicken.

Put a little bit of salt all over the chicken and let it stand for about 10 minutes; the salt opens the holes in the skin of the chicken and will allow the other seasonings to permeate.

Sprinkle enough, but not too much, of each listed seasoning over the chicken.

Put some flour inside a medium sized bowl and add a little bit of each of the seasonings (also sprinkle with some grated almonds). Make sure that there is enough flour in the bowl to coat all the chicken pieces.

Check to make sure that the oil in the frying pan is hot and dip your chicken into the flour, covering it all over, then transfer it into the frying pan.

Let the chicken cook in the oil until it is golden brown all over, then poke a fork through the chicken to see if it's cooked, there shouldn't be any pink coloured meat and the juices should run clear.

Mix the BBQ sauce and honey together in a medium-sized bowl.

Preheat the oven. Take the chicken out of the pan and put it into the Honey BBQ sauce, then put it in the oven on a baking pan for about 6-8 minutes. Then serve.

So there you have it... all you need to know about how to cook BBQ chicken, for summer or winter!

• ½ oz chicken stock
• 1 oz brown sugar
• ¼ oz honey
• 1 oz dry mustard
• 1 can plum tomatoes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbs cayenne pepper

Step 1: Ok so the first thing you want to do is sweat the onions and garlic in the oil (to sweat means translucent or change cooler) for about 5 min.

Step 2. Add your red wine and chicken stock and reduce by half

Step 3. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for 45 minutes on medium heat. After the 45 minutes take the pan off the heat and with a hand blender blend the sauce, this helps to break up and blend the plum tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. And whammy!!! There's your home made award winning sauce.

Okay now for your chicken, it is all up to you, I personally like to get chicken wings.

If you want nice crispy chicken wings, then follow my instructions.

First pre heat your oven at 450 for 10 minutes. After the ten minutes cook the chicken in the oven with oil salt and pepper for 20 minutes, then take the chicken out of the oven. And let rest for 5 minutes (note the chicken is not fully cooked at this step, I am doing this method to crisp up the skin,) now turn down the oven to 300, and place your chicken back into the oven and cook for approximately 45 minutes.

This technique is called flash cooking, or shock cooking. The first step of shock cooking is to extract the fluids and liquids very fast from the out side skin so it crisps up. And the second step of shock cooking is to slowly cook the meat to help keep the meat nice and juicy and tender. So when you're finally done cooking you have a nice piece of chicken that has a crispy out side skin but a nice juicy tender meat on the inside.
