North Coast Apple Brined BBQ Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
Brine Ingredients:
- 1 gallon water
- 1 cup North Coast Organic Apple Juice
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup North Coast Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 whole organic skin on chicken in pieces, about 5 pounds
For the dry rub:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dry ground mustard
Instructions
- Add the gallon of water, apple juice, salt, and apple cider vinegar to a large bowl and stir to combine until the salt has dissolved. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and brine the chicken for 3-6 hours.
- To make the rub, combine all of the ingredients together thoroughly in a bowl.
- After the chicken has brined, remove from bowl and pat the pieces dry with a paper towel.
- Once dry, generously coat the chicken pieces with the dry rub.
- Prepare a grill and place the chicken over direct heat for 5-10 minutes until the skin is slightly charred.
- Flip the chicken and grill the other side for an additional 5-10 minutes until the other side is slightly charred.
- At this point you will want to move the chicken into indirect heat and close the lid.
- The different pieces of chicken will have different grilling times, the wings being the least amount of time and the breasts being the longest.
- Pull the pieces off the grill when they have an internal temperature of 165*.
- Once the chicken pieces have cooked, remove them from the grill and cover them with aluminum foil to rest for 10 minutes.
