Triple Play Barbecued Chicken
Triple the flavor of grilled chicken by first seasoning with a spicy rub, smoking the chicken over wood chips, then brushing with a sweet and tangy sauce.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the oil, onion, and garlic until golden, about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often.
Step 2
In a small bowl mix the rub ingredients. Sprinkle the rub evenly all over the chicken pieces. Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Prepare the grill for direct and indirect cooking over medium heat. Triple Play Barbecued Chicken
Step 3
Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the chicken, skin side down, over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Move the chicken pieces over indirect medium heat. Drain and scatter the wood chips over the lit charcoal or put them in the smoker box of a gas grill, following manufacturer's instructions. Continue to grill the chicken, with the lid closed, for about 20 minutes. Then brush both sides with a thin layer of the sauce and cook until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, about 15 minutes, occasionally turning and brushing with the sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature with the remaining sauce on the side

My husband has made this several times this summer. We always use bone-in, skinned chicken breasts. They always turn out so flavorful and juicy. Some of the best BBQ chicken I've ever had!

Great! Yummy sauce and the rub was good too. Not just plain old bbq sauce. Only subs were 1 TB dijon (didn't have whole mustard) and a little cayenne for heat. Forgot to add lemon zest to rub- so just added into sauce. Served with Kraft pasta salad and grilled zuc.
Will use leftover (thinned down sauce) for egg roll dipping. Can't wait.

I used this to cook for a friend's birthday party and everyone LOVED it! The rub is simply awesome and easy. The sauce glazes quite well. It will also go with any BBQ sauce you choose. Certainly a recipe to show off with!
