Every chicken needs a good cleaning before further cooking. After cleaning the chicken thoroughly it should be soaked in hot water so as to remove the impurities if any. They are then dried with the help of paper towels. To have a barbecue flavor we use barbecue rub on the chicken which provides an excellent flavor to the chicken. It is easy to prepare the barbecue rub.
Two tea spoons of Sugar, salt, brown sugar, ground cumin, chilly powder, freshly ground black pepper; cayenne pepper and one fourth cup of paprika are taken and mixed together. This mixture is called barbecue rub and it is gently applied on the cleaned chicken.
Charcoal heating is the most important part of the making of this kind of chicken. Required amount of charcoal is heated until it is completely lit. After it is lit coal is placed over the charcoal. The cooking grate is placed over the lit charcoal and the chicken pieces which are rubbed with barbecue rub are placed over it. If we want to get a smoky flavor a little amount of burning wood or soaked chips or chunks are added to the burning charcoal.
The cooking grate should be oiled so as to avoid drying up of chicken. The chicken pieces should not be kept touching the fire as it will lead to burning of chicken. It should be gently flipped from one side to another so as to make the boiling even. During flipping the barbecue sauce should be applied frequently to give a little sticky or juicy appearance. Barbecue sauce is prepared by cooking onions and garlic in olive oil.
To this tomato sauce, tomato paste, two table spoons of brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard and 1 teaspoon cayenne are added and cooked for 20 minutes. It will take some 30 minutes for cooking the chicken and after applying sauce it should be cooked for another 20 minutes.
While cooking the flavor of the barbecue rub and sauce goes in to the chicken hence it will be a great delight to eat. This is always served with the remaining barbecue sauce which adds up the flavor.
