The Best Grilled Chicken

This really is The Best Grilled Chicken and it is just in time for the summer grilling season.  Sometimes Chicken on the grill can be tough and the flavor just on the top of the meat, this chicken is so tender and juicy it will just melt in your mouth.  This recipe has been on our grill many times and I am happy to share it with you today.

The Best Grilled Chicken
 Miz Helen's Kitchen
Ingredients
4 pound fryer chicken, split in half
For The Dry Rub

1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chile powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
For the Basting Sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Mix the dry rub season's very well 
Rub all over the chicken half's making sure that both sides are covered 
Refrigerate the rubbed chicken half's for 3 hours 
Bring the rubbed chicken half's to room temperature
Prepare the Basting Sauce and set aside
Preheat the grill to very high heat, about 500 degrees.  Turn the middle burner completely off and place the chicken in there while lowering the other two burners, bringing the temperature to 350 degrees.
Baste the fryer and close the grill.  Set a timer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes turn the fryer over and baster again.  Repeat this step every 15 minutes for a total of one hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
At the last basting, let the chicken cook for only five minutes more
Baste with your favorite grilling sauce
My favorite sauce is Miz Helen's Bar B Que Sauce
Let set and the internal temperature will continue to come up to 175 a well done for chicken  

Enjoy!

  14. The grilled chicken looks fabulous. I too, like the use of Tumeric, it gives a bright color to the glazes or any dish you put it in. Love the blog and will visit Lee Ann at Cooking at the Ranch. I would love to have you join our BBQ Block Party-Linky Party. It is new and starts next thursday, please check the link out

    1. Hi Tammy,
      I have not made this recipe in the oven, however if I did: I would roast uncovered at 425 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the internal temperature of the Chicken reaches 165. Baste 4 times during the cooking period, 15 minutes before the Chicken is done, baste with your favorite grilling sauce. It should be delicious! Thanks for stopping by I am always happy to help someone with a recipe and be sure and let me know how it turns out.
      Have a great weekend!
