BBQ Chicken Recipe
My favorite BBQ chicken recipe is made with a whole chicken that’s been halved. It comes out incredible on the grill. My husband cooked one for the 4th of July and everyone loved it. It’s a simple recipe and it’s great anytime.
Whole BBQ Chicken Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 whole 3 to 4 lb chicken, halved
- salt
- pepper
- garlic salt
- crushed red pepper
- BullsEye BBQ sauce (original or Memphis style)
Rinse your chicken halves in cold water and pat dry. Season your chicken with salt and pepper to taste, garlic salt, and a tad of crushed red pepper according to how much spice you like. Heat your grill, gas or charcoal to a medium heat. Place the chicken skin side up on the grill. Close the lid to allow the chicken to smoke. Flip the chicken after about 15 minutes. Cook the chicken skin side down for another 15 minutes. Then, flip the chicken halves, skin side up again, and baste with BBQ sauce. Leave the grill open now and cook for another 15 minutes flipping once. Flip the chicken skin side up once more and apply more BBQ sauce and continue grilling until chicken is done. This chicken always comes out very juicy and flavorful. Enjoy!
