Learn How to Cook BBQ Chicken by Cooking Whole Chicken & Cooking Chicken Wings by adding BBQ Sauce Recipes

If you ask someone how to cook bbq chicken, you could get a variety of answers. Depending on the area where the person is from, each has a different interpretation of barbeque chicken. I have had this discussion many times with family and friends in the years since I moved from the North to the South. In Ohio, we always considered cooking bbq chicken to be baking in the oven with a lot of bbq sauce (usually a tomato base) over the chicken. Here in the South, whether you are learning how to cook chicken breast or cooking chicken wings, if you are barbequing, you will be cooking on some form of a grill. Big difference!

The following is a typical saucy barbeque of the North.

BARBEQUE SAUCE

• 1 Large chopped onion


• 4 Tablespoons butter


• 6 Cloves garlic


• 2 Tablespoons molasses


• 2 Tablespoons lemon juice


• 1 Teaspoon salt


• 2 Cups chicken stock


• ½ Cup tomato paste


• 3 Tablespoons hot pepper sauce


• 1 Cup honey


• 1 ½ Teaspoons black pepper


• ½ Teaspoon cayenne pepper


• 1/2 Teaspoon ground cumin


• ½ Cup orange juice

Chicken stew:

• 1 Medium onion thin sliced


• 3 Diced green peppers

The following way of how to cook bbq chicken is to prepare the bbq sauce recipe and constantly brush on the chicken as you cook it on the grill. You could also pour some sauce over the chicken and roast it in the oven. The roast chicken cooking time should be about 1 hour in a preheated oven at 350F degrees, but check for doneness.
