This spicy blackened chicken packs a one-two punch of flavor. The grilled chicken is basted with a peppery white sauce-there's plenty of extra sauce left over for dipping. -Stephanie Kenney, Falkville, Alabama

GRILLED BLACKENED CHICKEN



Grilled Blackened Chicken image

This is one of the best if not the best stove top grilled chicken I've had in a long time. These pieces were very tender and moist, not to mention very tasty as well! Even though this was cooked on the stove top, I think it would work just as well on an outside grill. These 2 large pieces were more than we could eat. Would...

2 large boneless chicken breast
olive oil
1 tsp paprika, smoked
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp thyme, dried
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt, (i used salt sense)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder

Steps:

  • 1. Pull chicken breast from fridge 30 minutes prior to grilling to bring to room temperture.

  • 3. Trim any excess fat from chicken and then rub evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle seasoning/rub evenly over chicken; rub to cover entire pieces.
  • 4. Heat grill over medium/high heat until literally smoking. You want to hear the meat sizzle once it hits the grill.
  • 5. Place breast on grill, cover and cook about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Turn heat off and remove grill from heat. Leave meat in pan (covered) for abour 2 minutes and then remove to plate; cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • 6. NOTES: 3 steps to insure a tender moist piece of chicken: 1. Remove chicken from fridge 30 minutes prior to grilling. 2. Make sure the grill is smoking hot before you place the chicken in it. 3. Let the chicken rest (covered) 10 minutes before serving. I used a cast iron grill.

This brined bird is full of flavor. Don't be scared if it blackens in some spots - that's the best part.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Brine the chicken: Combine 4 cups water, 2/3 cup salt, and the brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and whisk until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl or pot large enough to submerge the chicken. Stir in 6 cups of ice water and let cool completely. Submerge the chicken in the cooled brine, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Remove from the brine and pat dry completely.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  • Whisk together the paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Brush the chicken all over with the melted butter, and then pat on all of the dry rub mixture.
  • Grill the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up on the indirect side of the grill, with the legs facing the hotter side of the grill. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone), 50 to 60 minutes. The chicken will be quite dark and blackened in spots.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest on a cutting board for at least 20 minutes before carving.
