Kansas City Style Smoked Chicken Recipe 45

GRILLED KANSAS CITY SMOTHERED BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Measure out 1/2 cup of sauce and set aside. Pour remaining sauce into 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 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Top with 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 a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 170 degrees F.
• Unwrap foil packets and place 2 slices of provolone cheese over 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 cilantro or parsley and serve.

KANSAS CITY-STYLE SMOKED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the dry rub, combine the ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Pour 1/4 cup into a smaller bowl and pour the remaining mixture into an air-tight container. (You'll only need 1/4 cup for this recipe.) To prepare the barbecue sauce, combine all the ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Whisk until well combined. Divide in half and set aside. Preheat a smoker to 250°F. Take the reserved rub and coat the entire surface of the chicken. Truss the chicken with string. Place the chicken in the smoker and smoke for 3-1/2 hours. Brush the chicken with half of the barbecue sauce and continue to smoke for another half an hour, or until the breast of the chicken reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the smoker, place a foil tent on top, and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Remove the trussing. Serve with the reserved sauce.

THE BEST BARBECUE CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place breast-side-down on a large cutting board. Using sharp kitchen shears, remove the backbone by cutting along either side of it. Turn chicken over and lay out flat. Press firmly on breast to flatten the chicken. For added stability, run a metal or wooden skewer horizontally, entering through one thigh, going through both breast halves, and exiting through the other thigh. Tuck wing tips behind back. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Combine salt, brown sugar, black pepper, chile powder, ground coriander seeds, and garlic in a small bowl and massage with fingertips until homogenous. Spread mixture evenly over all surfaces of chicken.
• Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over half of coal grate. Alternatively, set half the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. If using charcoal, place hardwood chunks directly on coal. If using gas, place on grate above lit burners.
