The Best Barbecue Chicken
The Best Barbecue Chicken JUMP TO RECIPE Prep15 mins Cook65 mins Active30 mins Resting Time10 mins Total90 mins Serves6 servings Ingredients 1 whole large chicken, about 6 to 8 pounds 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon chile powder 1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds 2 medium cloves garlic, minced on a Microplane grater 2 cups Kansas city-style barbecue sauce, or your favorite barbecue sauce 2 chunks hardwood, soaked in water for 30 minutesDirections Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place breast-side-down on a large cutting board. Using sharp kitchen shears, remove the backbone by cutting along either side of it. Turn chicken over and lay out flat. Press firmly on breast to flatten the chicken. For added stability, run a metal or wooden skewer horizontally, entering through one thigh, going through both breast halves, and exiting through the other thigh. Tuck wing tips behind back. Season generously with salt and pepper. Combine salt, brown sugar, black pepper, chile powder, ground coriander seeds, and garlic in a small bowl and massage with fingertips until homogenous. Spread mixture evenly over all surfaces of chicken. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over half of coal grate. Alternatively, set half the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. If using charcoal, place hardwood chunks directly on coal. If using gas, place on grate above lit burners. Place chicken skin side up over cooler side of grill with legs pointed towards hotter side. Close grill and cook until center of thickest part of chicken registers 120¡ãF (49¡ãC) on an instant-read thermometer, 35 to 45 minutes. Brush top of chicken with barbecue sauce. Cover and continue cooking for 5 minutes until sauce is beginning to dry. Brush with more sauce, cover, and continue to cook until thickest part of breast registers 135¡ãF (57¡ãC) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes longer. Using tongs and a flexible metal spatula, carefully flip the bird and place it skin side down directly over the coals. Brush back of chicken with more sauce. Continue to cook, covered, until brown, crisp, charred in spots, and thickest part of breast registers 150¡ãF (66¡ãC) on an instant-read thermometer, 7 to 10 minutes longer. If bird threatens to burn before temperature is achieved, carefully slide to cooler side of grill, cover, and cook until done. Remove from grill, let rest 10 minutes, carve, and serve.Special Equipment Charcoal grill, chimney starter, instant-read thermometer, skewer Notes This recipe calls for a large chicken. Do not try it with a smaller chicken, as it will dry out too much while cooking. Source: Serious Eats ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Using a meat pounder, rolling pin, or small skillet, pound chicken breast into an even thickness, about 3/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining 5 breasts. In a large bowl, whisk fish sauce, water, soy sauce, honey, salt, and pepper together. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 12 hours. For a Charcoal Grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. For a Gas Grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave all burners on high. Remove chicken from brine, letting excess drip off (do not pat dry), then brush with oil as needed until evenly coated. Clean and oil the cooking grate.

Grilled Peaches and Pound Cake With Cider Vinegar Caramel Sauce
Grilled Peaches and Pound Cake With Cider Vinegar Caramel Sauce JUMP TO RECIPE Cook60 mins Total60 mins Serves4 servings Ingredients 4 small to medium firm-but-ripe freestone peaches, halved and pits removed 1 cup sugar (7 ounces/200 g), plus more for dipping peaches 1 cup (235 ml) apple cider vinegar 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces Kosher salt Four 1 1/2-inch-thick slices homemade or store-bought poundcake Whipped cream, for servingDirections Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over half of coal grate. Alternatively, set half the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Spread an even layer of sugar on a small plate and dip the cut side of each peach half into it to coat lightly; top up sugar if needed. Set peaches, sugar side down, near but not directly over the coals (about medium to medium-high heat) and cook until the sugar coating has turned a deep caramel brown in spots, about 3 minutes; take care to make sure they don¡¯t burn. Flip the peaches and move them to the cooler side of the grill. Cook until peaches are softened throughout but still hold their shape, 5 to 10 minutes. Keep warm. (You can move the peaches closer to and farther from the fire as needed to ensure they cook through and then remain warm without overcooking.) Set an oven-proof 10-inch stainless steel skillet over the hot side of the grill and add the 1 cup sugar to it. Shake to spread sugar in an even layer, then cook until the sugar has melted and formed an amber caramel, about 10 minutes (timing can vary heavily depending on the grill's heat). Carefully and slowly add the vinegar; the liquid will splatter and bubble a bit. Try not to inhale the vapor from the boiling vinegar; it can be very potent. Cook, swirling gently from time to time, until the vinegar and caramel come together to form a uniform sauce; it's best not to stir during this time, as the caramel can clump onto the stirring utensil. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Whisk in 1 piece of butter at a time, whisking constantly until each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Season with salt. Remove the caramel from the grill and let cool to room temperature. Set poundcake slices over medium heat zone of the grill and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Flip and repeat on other side. Be careful as the cake can burn quickly. To assemble, place pound cake on plates. Top with grilled peach halves, then pour a generous amount of caramel over the peaches. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and serve.Special Equipment Grill, 10-inch oven-safe stainless-steel skillet, whisk Source: Serious Eats ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Looking for a last-minute Mother's Day gift? Sons and daughters can show their mom some love with a quick-and-easy chicken dish that celebrity chef Robert Irvine says can be prepared in minutes. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Irvine shared his recipe for seared herb chicken paillard with toasted coriander Greek yogurt and spring harvest salad. (See the video at the top of this article.) ARE ROTISSERIE CHICKENS REALLY HEALTHY? WHAT TO KNOW Although it's suitable for any occasion, the dish is particularly helpful for anyone pressed for time. That's because the meal can be made in less than three minutes. Irvine also revealed four practical cooking tips that will help make your Mother's Day meal a success. 1. Choose your meat Chicken paillard is pounded flat and grilled or saut¨¦ed quickly. CHICKEN THIGHS VS. CHICKEN BREASTS: WHICH ARE 'BETTER' FOR YOU? FOOD EXPERTS WEIGH IN "Paillard just means a flat piece of meat," Irvine told Fox News Digital. He used chicken breast for his dish. "But you can do this with the thighs, which have much more flavor because the dark meat contains more natural fat," Irvine said. "The white meat doesn't." Chef Irvine said chicken paillard can be made with breasts or thighs. (Fox News) When it comes to flattening the chicken, Irvine recommends using the smooth end of a meat pounder. "And all we're doing is breaking the protein apart, so it cooks faster." EATING CHICKEN LINKED TO HIGHER MORTALITY RATES, OBSERVATIONAL STUDY SUGGESTS Fish can also be substituted for chicken. "We could use salmon the very same way. We could use cod," Irvine said. 2. Don't forget the stem One of the herbs used to bolster the chicken's flavor is rosemary. Irvine demonstrates how he uses rosemary to add flavor to the dish. (Fox News) "Now, people think that when I use the rosemary, which is literally taken off the stick here, that this is the flavor," Irvine said, holding the stem. "It is slightly. But this, the twig, is much more intense in flavor." He incorporates the twig into the dish, using the back of a knife to bring out the aroma. ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST FOOD TOURS IS HELD IN THIS SURPRISING SOUTHERN TOWN "I'm going to drop that in when I cook." Irvine then removes it before serving. "I'm never going to eat this because it's too hot," he said. "But it's a great flavor." 3. Pick the right oil Instead of a traditional olive oil, Irvine prefers to use a grapeseed oil. Irvine uses grapeseed oil instead of olive oil. (Justin Leonard) "The reason I use grapeseed oil is because I don't want a bitter, peppery aftertaste," he told Fox News Digital. "I've already got arugula. That's the pepperiness." For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle Grapeseed oil reaches a higher temperature than olive oil, "sears the chicken nicely" and "doesn't get absorbed into the chicken like an olive oil would," he said. "Olive oil's really only for finishing." 4. Let it be While the chicken is cooking, there is no need to move the pan, Irvine said.
