Ingredients:
Ten chicken thighs, not frozen
One chicken bouillon cube
2 cups of water
Derek Wolf Nashville Hot Chicken seasoning
Salt, pepper, and garlic
One stick of butter
Sweet and spicy BBQ sauce
Instructions:
Preparation: Trim off the extra skin and fat from the chicken thighs. For an even more delightful texture, consider scraping the backside of the skin to make it thinner.
Flavor Injection: Create a flavorful mixture by combining one chicken bouillon cube, 2 cups of water, and one tablespoon of Derek Wolf Nashville Hot Chicken seasoning. Inject this flavor mixture into the meat on both sides of the bone.
Seasoning: Season the chicken underneath the skin with a basic blend of salt, pepper, and garlic. Sprinkle Derek Wolf Nashville Hot Chicken seasoning on the back of the chicken thighs and top of the skin.
Marinating: Place your seasoned chicken in a foil pan and let it sit for about an hour in the seasoning. This dry brine step allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the chicken.
Butter Addition: Cut a stick of butter into pads and place them between the chicken thighs. This adds a delightful richness to your chicken.
Initial Cooking: Cook your chicken thighs uncovered in the foil pan for 60 minutes at 300 degrees.
Covered Cooking: After achieving a nice color on the skin, cover the pan with foil and cook for an additional 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees.
BBQ Sauce and Final Grilling: Remove the chicken from the foil pan, brush on your sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, and place them on the grill for 15 minutes. This step gives your chicken thighs a tantalizingly sticky, sweet, and spicy exterior.
Resting: Let your chicken rest for 15 minutes before serving. This ensures that all the flavors are well absorbed and the meat is tender and juicy.
With layers of flavor and a delightfully bite-through skin, our Nashville Hot Chicken Thighs promise a BBQ experience that's both delicious and memorable. Fire up your grill and get ready for a spicy BBQ treat that's sure to be a hit. Happy grilling!
