So I haven't been as faithful to this blog as I should be (especially because I blog more about the video game I'm playing right now than food ::cough cough look me up cough cough::) Anyway, back to the food!
This particular post is all about my barbecue chicken. Having a deep love for barbecue and a love/hate relationship with chicken, it was time that the two met and I finally showed the chicken who's boss. Here is what you will need in total, very simple:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (about 3-4 good sized chicken breasts)
Jamie's Barbecue Rub
Jack Daniel's Honey Smokehouse Barbecue Sauce
2-4 ears of corn
Olive Oil (any kind is fine, I use extra virgin)
salt
pepper
smoked paprika.
If your chicken is frozen when you are choosing to make this recipe, follow steps 1 and 2. If you are buying your chicken the day you make this recipe, just use step 2.
Step 1) Take chicken breasts out of the freezer, let them thaw in your fridge for 24hrs.
Step 2) Take chicken and rub thoroughly with barbecue rub. It is OK if the chicken is still partially frozen. Place chicken on a plate, cover with tin foil, and put it back into the fridge for at least 8 hours.
Next, shuck your ears of corn and place into a Ziplock freezer bag. Drizzle with olive oil (about 1-2 tablespoons), and add salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss/rub the corn to thoroughly coat each ear, then let that sit for about an hour in your fridge.
Pre-heat your grill on medium high heat and coat your grill with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts and the corn on the grill. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, brushing the grilled side with the barbecue sauce after each flip.
Cook the chicken for 20-25 minutes, then take off the grill and cover with foil to let rest about 5 minutes. While grilling the chicken, periodically turn the corn to get an even char, about every 5 minutes or so to your desired doneness.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
