What's the Best Way to BBQ Chicken

Most brands of Catalina-style dressing contain all the ingredients that you need for a tremendous marinade. Now, we will assume that you are barbecuing a whole chicken although this recipe will work just fine for chicken parts, or breasts. If you are cooking a whole chicken you will want to grill on indirect heat.

• If you are barbecuing a whole chicken, remove excess parts from cavity

• Wash the chicken thoroughly with water and pat dry

• Place chicken in a leak-proof marinating container, don’t use aluminum foil

• Rub the chicken with garlic granules, outside and in the cavity

• Distribute an even amount of Catalina style dressing over the chicken and a generous amount in the cavity

• Sprinkle a light amount of Italian seasoning over the bird, and more garlic granules, no need to rub in

• Refrigerate over night

• Line a 9 ½ by 13 ½ metal pan with aluminum foil, you can do 2 chickens at once

• Place chicken in the pan and pour remaining fluid from the marinating pan over the chicken

• Let the chicken sit out at room temperature for at least thirty minutes, meanwhile

• Start your barbecue on just one side of the grill and build up to 325 to 340 degrees

• Cook on indirect heat for several hours, on the unheated side of the grill

• Mop with the dressing after the first hour and each half hour after that
• Check for doneness with a meat thermometer

• Let the chicken sit out on the drain board for 15 minutes before carving

Life is all about variety. What’s the best way to BBQ chicken?
