The Deen Bros Bbq Chicken Recipes

THE DEEN BROTHERS' BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°F or prepare a grill (brush the grill grate lightly with oil).
• 2. In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the chicken. Reserve 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce; set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the bowl, turning to coat.
• 3. Arrange the coated chicken in a roasting pan or on the grill. Cook (covered, if grilling) for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the reserved 1/3 cup sauce after 20 minutes.

THE ULTIMATE BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the brine, in a mixing bowl combine the water, salt, sugar, garlic, and thyme. Transfer the brine to a 2-gallon sized re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, close the bag and refrigerate 2 hours (if you've only got 15 minutes, that's fine) to allow the salt and seasonings to penetrate the chicken.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the bunch of thyme and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook slowly 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly without coloring for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Once the sauce is done cooking, remove about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and reserve for serving along side the chicken at the table. The rest of the barbecue sauce will be used for basing the legs.
• Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
• Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue to a medium heat. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface. Take the chicken out of the brine, pat it dry on paper towels. Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook, turn once mid-way, and cook for a total of 10 minutes. Transfer the grill marked chicken to a cookie sheet and then place in the oven. Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and then brush liberally, coating every inch of the legs with the barbecue sauce and then return to the oven for 25 to 30 more minutes, basting the chicken for a second time half way through remaining cooking time. Serve with extra sauce.

BBQ CHICKEN LIVERS... ALA THE DEEN BROTHERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick spray.
• Rinse, drain, and dry the chicken livers on paper towels. (Season to taste if desired, I use a little seasoning salt & no pepper.).
• In a large bowl stir together all the bbq sauce ingredients.
• Reserve 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and set aside for later; use 1/4 cup later for basting & 1/4 cup as a side sauce when livers are served (if desired).
• Place the chicken livers into the bbq sauce remaining in the bowl, tossing to coat.
• Arrange the coated chicken livers in the sprayed 8x8 baking pan & cover with foil.
• Cook (covered), for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the reserved 1/4 cup sauce after 20 minutes. **For oven roasting, cook uncovered for the last 15 minutes.
• **Instead of oven roasting, these livers can be barbequed on a grill using a foil-covered foil pan that is sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in a medium heat area on the grill. Cooking time may vary from oven method.
• Note: This recipe can be made "savory" with the addition of herbs of your choice -- or herb blends -- it never hurts to experiment.
