BBQ Chicken Breast...Low and Slow

Your Gay Husband Tip of the Day:

Marinate overnight for best results



BBQ Chicken with Carrots, Broccoli and Ambrosia Salad

 BBQ Chicken Breasts
mmm that sounds so good. When you BBQ chicken "right" it is juicy and full of flavor. The key is to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight when time permits, and to cook it Low and Slow. I use a dry rub but really use what you like best. Here is how I made these large chicken breast and boy oh boy were they GOOD.

TIME - 2 hours excluding marinating
COST - under $10 for 4 servings
Level of difficulty-2 on a scale of 1-5

Cook away from coals Low and Slow

Once the Chicken has marinated put it on the grill. You want your grates on the grill to be hot and coals to be gray in color. Place the Chicken breasts on the grill away from the coals. Close the lid and close the vents 90% of the way. This will help keep the BBQ warm, smoke the meat and level out the cooking temperature. Do NOT even look at it for 1hour. If you want you can also toss in some wet wood chips. I only use organic charcoal and NO lighter fluid.

Happy Chicken Breast are done

Once the internal has reached 155 degrees I remove the chicken from the grill and tent it in foil for 10-15 min before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make for a JUICY breasts and let it finish cooking. You do not want dry chicken...yuck. I do not put BBQ sauce on the chicken until it hits the plate.
I made caramelized carrots, steamed broccoli and Ambrosia salad to go with it.
