BBQ chicken offers a mild yet flavorful alternative to pork and beef cuts. Its affordability and quick cooking make it popular. To enhance flavor, chicken should be dried and coated in oil for seasoning adherence. Marinating is crucial; 12 to 48 hours is recommended for optimal flavor absorption. A mix of bright flavors like garlic, vinegar, and onions can complement both the chicken and BBQ sauce. Dry brining is also suggested to elevate the taste of the chicken cuts before grilling or smoking.
"I first pat it dry on all sides to ensure a good sear. I then coat the chicken in a thin layer of oil to ensure the seasonings will stick and not bounce off as I season it."
"When you do this, give yourself enough time. One to two hours won't do much; you need 12 and up to 48 hours."
