Chicken Cut Options:
The best bbq chicken is made with bone-in, skin-on chicken. You can use all parts of the chicken, or just specific parts that you like. Drumsticks, wings, thighs, and breasts all make excellent bbq chicken. Cooking time will vary slightly if you are only using one cut of chicken. Chicken needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and cooking times will always vary based on the size and thickness of your chicken.
Can I make Best Oven Baked BBQ Chicken on the grill?
BBQ Chicken can be cooked low and slow on a grill at a 250-275 degree Fahrenheit heat which will take approximately 90 minutes to cook through to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can make this recipe on the grill using these time and temperature guidelines. Be sure to baste your chicken with the barbecue sauce as it cooks and flip your chicken halfway through cooking time. Finish by searing the chicken over a high heat to caramelize the sauce and crisp up the skin.
Cross Contamination:
Cross contamination is where bacteria are accidentally transferred from one item to another. In this recipe, you need to be careful not to contaminate your barbecue sauce with bacteria from raw chicken. If you touch your chicken with a brush or spoon, and then stick that utensil back into the bowl, the sauce is now contaminated. This means that the sauce cannot be eaten unless it has been cooked. To avoid this, use a clean spoon to transfer a small amount of sauce into a bowl, and then use a different spoon or brush to coat the chicken with this sauce. This will allow you to have extra sauce to coat your chicken with during the cooking process if you’d like.
