This is just about the easiest BBQ chicken you'll ever make. There. I said it. I'm not kidding! You do most of the cooking in the oven, and then you finish it off on the grill. Easy, right? The result is fall-off-the-bone tender chicken that will be the talk of any summer BBQ. I recently made it for a summer hang and everyone loved it! It's more about the method than anything else, and it's easy enough for the cooking novice. If you love BBQ chicken, you MUST try it. You might not ever cook it any another way!
You're welcome. :)
Chicken legs and thighs, bone in, skin on
Salt and pepper
Any favorite BBQ sauce
Start by heating your oven to 250ºF. Line a sheet tray with heavy duty aluminum foil.
Now arrange the chicken to fit. Feel free to place them nice and snug next to each other.
Season with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with more heavy duty aluminum foil, making sure to seal around the edges of the tray.
Place in the oven for 4 hours. Yes, FOUR HOURS.
Remove from oven.
You can do this much in advance. Just leave the tray covered with foil and let it cool slightly, then keep in in the fridge until your event.
When you're ready to grill, remove it from the fridge, and remove the foil. Place the chicken pieces on your hot grill, then brush with BBQ sauce. Close the lid and let it grill for about 15 minutes, until it's slightly charred here and there. Brush with more BBQ sauce and serve.
Be sure to have plenty of napkins at the ready!
Tips:
That's not a typo. Yes, the oven temp is meant to be 250º, not 350º. That would be the low part of Low 'n' Slow!
Wanna spice things up? Add any kind of spice you like along with the salt and pepper.
Use whichever BBQ sauce you like or your own home made. I like legs and thighs, but you can use breasts as well. I wouldn't do boneless chicken in this case because it would probably overcook. Or at least I imagine it will!
