Bbq Split Chicken Breasts Recipes

EASIEST BAKED BBQ SPLIT CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Start with preheating the oven to 400° convection or 425° conventional. I started my Memphis sauce at the same time. You may leave the ribs or remove them, your choice. Trim and split your split skin-on bone-in chicken breasts. Pat dry.
• Prepare a smaller baking pan with aluminum foil (to help clean up) and a cooking rack sprayed with PAM. If you don't have a rack, you can skip it.
• Arrange the breast with the thicker parts of each piece to the outside of the pan.
• Bake until internal temp of 160°. That will be about 40 minutes depending on your oven and the size of the breasts. Remove from oven and brush on a coat of sauce. Place back in for another 5 minutes. Double-check that the internal temperature of the chicken is now at least 165° before removing.
• Remove from oven and apply another coat of sauce.

GRILLED BBQ SPLIT CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill to a surface temperature of 425°-450°. That is medium to medium-high on most grills. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Pat dry chicken. Trim loose fat and rib section.
• Cut the split chicken breasts into 2-3 equal pieces each.
• A light brushing with oil, and you're good to go.
• Place the chicken pieces skin side up and grill for 5 minutes. Flip over with skin down for 4 minutes. Continue cycles of 5 minutes when skin is up and 4 minutes when skin is down. You can also grill some with the cut sides down.If you only have two burners, turn one burner down at about 10-15 minutes into the cooking. If you have 3 or more burners, turn one end burner down at the beginning of cooking.
• With smaller pieces and pieces browning too fast, move them to the lower temperature area as needed.When the chicken is near done, brush with BBQ sauce about 5 minutes before the end of cooking and then again the last few minutes. Grill until internal temp of 165°. The total cooking time is about 30 minutes.

BBQ SPLIT CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Marinade: Combine all of the Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl, and whisk together until well mixed. Place Marinade in a large re-sealable plastic bag. (If necessary, split the marinade and chicken into two bags.) Add the split chicken breasts and squeeze any air out of the bag. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. For the BBQ Basting Sauce: Combine all of the BBQ Basting Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until well mixed; set aside. For the Chicken: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Place the split chicken breasts on the grill bone side down, and cook for 13-15 minutes. Flip chicken breasts and cook skin side down for 5-7 more minutes. Flip chicken breasts over and brush generously with the BBQ Basting Sauce. (Discard any remaining Basting Sauce.) Continue cooking bone side down for another 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.

BAKED SPLIT CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and garlic; sprinkle with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and basil. Arrange chicken in a large baking dish and refrigerate at least 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven until chicken meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast meat should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

BBQ CHICKEN BREASTS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking pan with heavy-duty foil to make cleanup easier.
• Prepare chicken breasts by cutting off the rib meat if you wish and rinse and pat dry. Leave the skin on. Season chicken with salt and pepper and put in the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until juices start to appear, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove the pan and generously pour 1/2 of the barbecue sauce over chicken. Continue to bake for 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining barbecue sauce and cook until no longer pink in the centers and skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more.
