This recipe brings a delightful twist to classic barbecue chicken with a zesty spice rub and a tangy homemade glaze.
Combine all the spice rub ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the chicken pieces with the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Let the chicken sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken, skin side down, for 20 minutes. Flip and cook for another 20-30 minutes until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Mix all the BBQ glaze ingredients in a bowl.
Adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the glaze to your preference.
Brush the chicken with the BBQ glaze during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
Apply multiple layers of glaze for a richer flavor.
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
