BBQ SPLIT CHICKEN BREAST RECIPES

Steps:

• For the Marinade: Combine all of the Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl, and whisk together until well mixed. Place Marinade in a large re-sealable plastic bag. (If necessary, split the marinade and chicken into two bags.) Add the split chicken breasts and squeeze any air out of the bag. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. For the BBQ Basting Sauce: Combine all of the BBQ Basting Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until well mixed; set aside. For the Chicken: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Place the split chicken breasts on the grill bone side down, and cook for 13-15 minutes. Flip chicken breasts and cook skin side down for 5-7 more minutes. Flip chicken breasts over and brush generously with the BBQ Basting Sauce. (Discard any remaining Basting Sauce.) Continue cooking bone side down for another 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.  

Steps:

• Brine the chicken breasts for at least four hours but preferably overnight.
• Rinse the breasts in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Use your fingers to create a pocket underneath the chicken skin.
• Insert the butter, rosemary and lemon into the pocket.
• Season the skin with salt and pepper or our chicken rub.
• Grill over Medium/Low heat, turning often, to an internal temperature of 165F.
