Drunken Chicken Under a Brick With Peach Jalapeño BBQ Glaze
Intro: Drunken Chicken Under a Brick With Peach Jalapeño BBQ Glaze
What? Isn’t that the craziest title ever? Doesn’t that sound like a tabloid story? Today, I’m pleased to present an instructable for a grilled chicken with a twist. This is one amazing recipe that turns out wonderful. As a result of the beer marinade, the meat of the chicken is moist and flavorful from the breast to the thighs. The combination of the beer and garlic marinade with the smokey sweet rub is an absolute winner. And, have you ever used a brick in any other recipe? Using a foil covered brick ensures that the butterflied bird is cooked evenly and the edges crisp nicely. Combined with the Peach Jalapeño BBQ Glaze, the seasoned and marinated chicken is a heavenly entree that will not disappoint.
To make this recipe, you will need:
3 to 4 pound chicken
12 ounces pale lager
1 tablespoon minced Garlic
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or Kosher salt
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup peach jalapeño jam
1/4 cup sweet barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
Tools and other:
Meat scissors
Cutting Board
Grill
Measuring cups and spoons
Bowls
13 x 9 casserole dish
Brick, cast iron skillet, or pizza stone
Aluminum foil
Silicon brush or barbecue mop
Grill thermometer
Oven mitt
Grill spatula and or tongs
Grilling temperature: 300 degrees Fahrenheit
Cook time: 40 to 50 minutes
Marinating time: 2 to 24 hours
Yield: it depends on the size of the chicken that you purchased.
STEP 1: Preparing the Bird
STEP 2: Preparing the Bird
STEP 3: Preparing the Bird
STEP 4: Marinating the Chicken
Cover with foil and refrigerate. Halfway through marinating, turn bird over. Marinate 2-24 hours.
STEP 5: Creating the Rub
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or Kosher salt
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
STEP 6: Season the Chicken
Rub the seasoning rub all over the bird. Use all of it.
STEP 7: Preparing the Brick
If you are unsure about your brick, STOP, don’t use it. Instead, use a cast iron skillet or a pizza stone. These don’t have to be wrapped in foil.
STEP 8: Heating the Grill
STEP 9: It’s Grilling Time!
Grill for approximately 20 minutes. Check progress by gently lifting the edge of the bird. You don’t want to move it too much or you will have funky grill marks.
STEP 10: Flip the Bird Over
STEP 11: Creating the Mopping Glaze
1/4 cup peach jalapeño jam
1/4 cup sweet barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
STEP 12: Let’s Glaze!
Grill for 10 minutes periodically adding the glaze until you have used it all.

My husband can't tolerate spicy anything so what do you recommend instead of the jalapeno?

This might be a dumb question, but where do you get the peach jalapeno jam? (Sorry, my laptop doesn't make the ~ sign over a letter.) Or do you have to make the jam? I am on the East Coast.

Buy a jar of peach jam. Add 1 cup to a small saucepan, and add 1/2 tablespoon of minced fresh jalapeño. Heat on the stovetop on medium heat. Stir and heat for about ten minutes.
Thanks for asking! ;)

Do you marinate both sides of the bird or just the skin side as shown?

I assume the brick is preheated with the grill?
