Grilled Kansas City Bbq Chicken Recipes

KANSAS CITY BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make sauce.
• Warm oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until soft and translucent ( about 5 minutes ). Mix in remaining sauce ingredients and 3/4 cup water.
• Reduce heat to low; cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until you're satisfied with the taste and the sauce heavily coats the spoon. (If thats too thick for you, add more water.) Set aside.( you can also make ahead of time and store up to 2 weeks).
• Prepare chicken. Rub with salt and a spritz of oil. Cover; let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat grill to medium (when you can hold your hand 2 inches above it for 4 to 5 seconds, no more, no less.) Grill one side of the chicken uncovered for about 3 minutes; repeat on the other side.
• Flip back to original side, then rotate 90 degrees, to get crisscross mark. Cook 3 minutes more, and brush on some sauce. Repeat on other side. Chicken is ready when white throughout but juicy, and sauce is a bit chewy and caramelized in spots. (for a slightly crusty surface, leave them on for an extra minute).
• Serve whole, or sliced thickly, with leftover sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Reserve 1/2 cup of sauce and pour remaining sauce in a large sealable bag. Add chicken breasts to bag. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium heat and arrange four 12x12-inch pieces of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil on the grill. Use tongs to transfer one chicken breast to each foil square. Discard marinade. Brush each chicken breast with some of the remaining BBQ sauce. Top with sliced mushrooms and onions. Fold foil around each chicken breast to enclose the chicken and veggies. Allow to cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear or meat thermometer reads 170 degrees F. Unwrap foil packets and place two slices of provolone cheese over the top of each chicken breast so that the cheese is lying on top of the mushrooms and onions. Allow to cook uncovered 2 to 3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve.
