Fourth of July BBQ doesn’t always have to be ribs and burgers.  Chicken makes an excellent choice for celebrating our nation’s birthday.  Here’s my recipe for juicy, flavorful and simple BBQ chicken.

Add North Georgia sorghum – 1/3 of a cup

Add chopped cilantro to taste

Add to sauce near end of cooking.

Time to prepare the chicken

I used a whole roaster for this BBQ outing.

Use a knife with a serrated blade to cut and prepare the chicken.

Cut chicken down the center to cut in half.

You will expose internal parts of the chicken. Remove them and place to the side. I save them to prepare treats for my dogs. They love chicken surprises!

Wash and pat dry the cut chicken. Place it on a plate while you prepare the seasonings.

DSC_1903

Season with salt, pepper and garlic to taste.

DSC_1904

Mix the three (salt, pepper and garlic) to create a rub for the chicken.

DSC_1906

Rub the mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken

Place on grill skin up. Flip over after 30 mins. Check that it is cooked thoroughly. Chicken should be white and tender throughout. Add sauce mixture near the end of cooking. Sauce added to soon can cause burning.

Cut into your preferred serving sizes. This one is cut into quarters.

Serve with your favorite sides. I prepared baked beans with bacon. The garden salad with peaches from Jaemore Farms is served with a cherry balsamic vinaigrette. The cherry balsamic vinegar is from a trip to Oregon. I love culinary travel. Trying new dishes when on the road and I enjoy purchasing local ingredients to bring home and prepare recipes at home. It feels like bringing a little bit of the destination home with me. The Cherry vinegar is made from local cherries which are grown in the Bend, Oregon area. Local cherries were yummy fresh while there and now I can enjoy them made into a vinegar.
