Instructions:
-
In a large resealable plastic food storage bag, combine all ingredients except chicken; mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the marinade.
-
Remove 1/2 cup of the marinade and set it aside for basting later on.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the bag, seal it tightly, and massage the marinade into the chicken to coat it thoroughly.
-
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat.
-
After marinating, remove the chicken from the bag and discard the used marinade.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
To partially cook the chicken, place it in a 13×9-inch baking dish and bake it in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. This initial baking step helps ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly.
-
Once the chicken has been partially baked, it’s time to finish it off with that irresistible barbecue flavor. You can either grill or broil the chicken, depending on your preference and available equipment.
-
If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If broiling, set your oven to broil mode.
-
Cook the chicken for an additional 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces, turning them once halfway through the cooking process. Baste the chicken often with the reserved 1/2 cup of marinade to infuse it with even more flavor and keep it juicy and tender.
-
To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken pieces. The chicken is done when it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
-
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, refrain from basting the chicken to prevent the marinade from burning.
-
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
-
Garnish with your favorite herbs or additional barbecue sauce, if desired, and serve hot.
-
Any remaining marinade should be discarded to prevent cross-contamination.
Enjoy your mouthwatering Family Barbecued Chicken with your loved ones! 🍗🔥
