Beer Brined Spatchcock BBQ Chicken Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Beer Brined Spatchcock BBQ Chicken is a flavorful and juicy grilled chicken dish. The chicken is first brined in a mixture of beer, salt, and spices, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. After brining, the chicken is spatchcocked, which means the backbone is removed and the chicken is flattened, allowing for even cooking and crispy skin. The chicken is then grilled over medium heat, basted with BBQ sauce, and served with your favorite sides.

  • Make sure to fully submerge the chicken in the brine to ensure even flavor distribution.
  • If you don't have kitchen shears, you can use a sharp knife to remove the backbone.
  • To check the internal temperature of the chicken, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching the bone.
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful chicken.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat the chicken, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the beer brined spatchcock BBQ chicken as a main dish with your favorite sides, or use it in sandwiches or salads.
