Rickys Kicken Chicken

My son Ricky is an avid griller and tried this recipe on us the other night. It was amazing! It is simple to do and adds a little kick instead of plain chicken on the grill. The new ingredient for me is the baking powder in the mix. It gives a  little crusty texture to it and the oil gives it some color. Give it a try today!

First make the paste / coating for the chicken.

INGREDIENTS

Paste Recipe

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup your favorite seasoning
  • 1/4 cup another favorite seasoning 
    • or 1/2 cup of one seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Baking powder

Mix this all together into a paste. Adjust thickness with more oil or more seasoning. 

My Seasoning rating I have used so far by Weber
Kicken Chicken - too spicy
Cowboy - spicy ok
Honey Hickory - good
Honey Garlic - my favorite not very spicy

NOTE: the paste will do 24 wings. For more chicken just double the receip

De-thaw the chicken and rinse in water then lay out and pat dry both sides.Trim excess fat from the chicken pieces. Place the chicken in a large pan and pour the mixture over all the chicken.Wear some latex gloves if you like, but then massage each piece making sure the mixture is all over the chicken.

NOTE: I have used this on legs, thighs, wings, drumettes, and even grille shrimp. You are now ready to add to the grill. If using charcoal, use indirect heat to avoid burning. Cook until the center of a piece is at least 160 degree. You should only flip the chicken once midway. Enjoy!

Serves 4-6
