Way too many ingredients and work just to cook thighs…
too complicated
Looks like they used a metal brush to clean the grill. Never use a metal brush. The bristles can break off and end up in your food. Very dangerous.
Don’t wet your pellets 😑
Made this today. Amazing!
The finishing "Brush" is known as a "Mop" here in Texas and can be done with a sprig of rosemary. This is actually grilled chicken with BBQ sauce. Looks good!
Can I use the braising method in a instant pot than grill?
Why do people not fold their shirt collar?
I was a tiny bit skeptical even though I have made dozens of ATK recipes. This is quite an investment in time since I don't have a sous chef gathering my spices. I substituted honey for apple jelly; for some reason there's none in the stores. I don't eat jelly so I didn't have any. Otherwise, I followed the recipe to the letter and I have to admit, that's the best barbeque chicken I've had and I live in Texas.
AS USUAL, THIS IS ABSOLUTE OVER BULLSHARTED WASTE OF TIME AND INGREDIENTS GARBAGE FROM THESE MARTHA STEWART WANNABEES
I'm going to try this! Everything looks great (except eating BBQ chicken with a knife and fork-lol)!
by FAR the BEST bar b q chicken we've EVER had. we subbed peach jam for the apple jelly. absolutely lip smacking good! thanks for a superb recipe ATK!
I love all the ideas they do on here
sure it is good but ehhh eff them i'm doing it raw dog and seasoning as i go !!!!
It's good but to much ingredients can't afford all that
🙂
30mins+1st schlack15mins+2nd Schlack25mins+Rest20mins=….
Best i can do is salt.
Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ is all you really need, but a few shakes of some QUALITY hot sauce added will be appreciated by all!
OMG
What temp is the grill on when braising?
yummm
🐾❤💕❤💕❤👍
I always brine my chicken and I have to do it everytime because it is amazingly juicy and tender
Good luck tasting any actual chicken flavour with all those horrible sprinkles, sauces, smoking and glaze! Trust you Americans to over guild the Lilly! Sacrilege!
Might just as well cook it in the oven…
WOW, just W O W ! Thanks for this recipe!!!!
NEVER USE OIL ON A PAPER TOWEL AND RUB IT ON THE HOT GRILLS WITH A FIRE GOING. USE A HIGH – HEAT OIL SPRAY, LIKE PAM, ETC. FROM A SAFE DISTANCE.
Nooooooo!!! Not the dreaded wood chips soaked in water. Steamed thighs!!
Unfortunately for me I found the braising liquid did nothing for the chicken.
OK, this isn't my first rodeo, but I have sometimes struggled to get my chicken to the "fall off the bone" state on my barbecue grill, so I thought I'd give this a try. I didn't adhere strictly to the recipe here, but did something very similar, especially coz I thought the idea of braizing the chicken made sense. I was pretty disappointed in the actual taste of the chicken. I may as well have cooked it in the oven. I think the brazing liquid must have prevented the meat from absorbing that smoky flavor from the wood chips, which is the big draw of smoked (barbecued) chicken, IMHO. Also, the skin was tough as nails, I could not cut it with the side of a fork. The actual meat of the chicken was perfectly cooked, I just didn't think it had much flavor, especially smoke flavor.
Looks good, but I like the skin to be crispy not soft and soggy. With that being said, I would remove the skin before cooking when using this cooking method.
FUNNY THING ABOUT A CHICKEN – THERE'S ENOUGH FAT AND FLAVOR IN THE THIGHS TO MOISTEN AND FLAVOR THE WHOLE BIRD – INCLUDING BREST – WITH THE FAT/FLAVOR OF THE THIGHT
After that much work i wouldnt want to share..lol
I always get excited when I see this channel come up in a recipe search!
OH HELL YEAH!!! SHALACK DAT!
There is one key step that wasn’t mentioned, the more popped the collar is, the better the bbq
Never squared the chicken thighs up
Is there anyvody that can help me first time cooking on my own to make this without owning a barbecue grill. I only have 1 pan, an air fryer, oven and a instant pot? How would i go about this to achieve the same result st home? Much love and gratitude for the advice
