Description
This recipe features chicken brined in a seasoned salt and sugar solution before being grilled to perfection. A tangy mop sauce made with vinegar and spices is used for basting during cooking. The dish is finished with a sweet and savory honey butter glaze for a crispy, flavorful skin.
Ingredients
  • BRINE***
  • 1 gallon Water
  • 3/4 cup Salt -- (kosher)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Molasses
  • 2 tablespoons Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Oregano
  • MOP***
  • 1 cup Vinegar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Margarine
Directions
  1. 1
    Mix all the brine ingredients in a large container.
  2. 2
    Trim and
  3. 3
    prepare the chicken as desired (I like to split the birds in half--they lay on the cooking surface better and are easier to handle).
  4. 4
    Immerse chicken in brine and soak for 4 - 24 hours.
  5. 5
    Remove from brine, rinse briefly, rub (if desired), and
  6. 6
    cook until internal breast temp hits 165 - 170F.
  7. 7
    I like to
  8. 8
    remove them,
  9. 9
    place them in a disposable aluminum pan (covered) and
  10. 10
    let them "
  11. 11
    rest " for approx.
  12. 12
    minutes.
  13. 13
    The only trouble with this is the skin gets somewhat "leathery" using this method, and you need to slap them on a
  14. 14
    grill (direct
  15. 15
    heat ) for a few minutes to crisp the skin back up.
  16. 16
    You can, if you desire, apply a thin coating of barbecue sauce during the crisping phase.
  17. 17
    You may want to mop/baste the birds while cooking.
  18. 18
    Put mop ingredients in sauce pan and bring to a boil.
  19. 19
    I baste them once or twice during the process, then finish them off with a honey/butter glaze (instead of barbecue sauce).
  20. 20
    Mix 3 parts butter/margarine with 1 part honey and
  21. 21
    coat birds thoroughly during the last few moments of the crisping phase
