Dean cooks beer-marinated BBQ chicken thighs

Dean shares his recipe for beer-marinated BBQ hen thighs

Elements:  

• Bone-in or boneless/skinless hen thighs, 4-5lb. package deal. 
• kosher salt
• 2 cups of your favourite BBQ sauce  (of the bottled sauces,  I like Well-known Dave’s Candy & Zesty)

For the grilled BBQ hen marinade/brine:

• 1 16-ounce beer of selection 
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt

For the grilled BBQ hen dry rub:

• Bottled BBQ Hen Rub  ( I like Weber Traditional BBQ Seasoning)
• or make your individual: 
• 3 Tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons floor cumin
• 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons mustard powder
• 1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon floor black pepper 
• (non-compulsory)  ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 

Instructions:  

Clear the hen breasts of extra fats.   You may both take away or leave-on the pores and skin.  

Marinate the hen in a big bowl or zip-top bag with an enormous, hoppy beer (like an IPA.)   

Add within the kosher salt and stir to mix. Submerge all of the components within the beer combination. 

Put aside for at the least 20 minutes or as much as 2 days. If brining longer than 1 hour, make sure to retailer within the frig.   

If making your individual dry rub,  mix the components to a small bowl or jar. Put aside, or retailer in your spice rack in an hermetic container for as much as 2 months. 

Preheat the grill: Put together for oblique cooking, making a zone of direct excessive warmth & a second zone of oblique warmth. If utilizing a gasoline grill, start preheating at the least quarter-hour earlier than grilling. If utilizing charcoal, mild the charcoal at the least half-hour previous to grilling. 

As soon as the grill is scorching, take away the hen from the marinade, patting off any extra moisture with a paper towel. Season generously with salt & the BBQ hen dry rub. If utilizing skin-on hen, work your fingers below the pores and skin to season either side of the pores and skin. 

Place the seasoned hen on the oblique facet of the grill (pores and skin facet up, if utilizing skin-on hen), as near the fireplace as doable with out being over the direct warmth. 

Cook dinner the hen, rotating the items 180 levels each quarter-hour, till an instant-read thermometer inserted within the thickest a part of the hen (with out hitting the bone) registers a temperature of 150 levels F.   Relying on the dimensions of your hen & the temperature of your grill, this might take as little as quarter-hour or as much as 40 minutes. 

Transfer the hen over direct warmth. If utilizing skin-on items, flip the hen so the skin-side is down. 

Baste the hen with BBQ sauce & cook dinner for two minutes. Flip the hen & cook dinner for two minutes extra. If utilizing skinless hen, baste the second facet with BBQ sauce.  Repeat 2-3 occasions, till your hen is as charred & saucy as desired and an instant-read thermometer inserted within the thickest a part of the hen (with out hitting the bone) registers a temperature of 160 levels F. 

Take away from the grill and put aside to relaxation for 5-10 minutes. Carryover warmth will trigger the interior temperature to proceed to rise because it rests. The hen will probably be able to serve as soon as an instant-read thermometer inserted within the thickest a part of the hen (with out hitting the bone) registers a temperature of 165 levels F.
