Hankering for some light smoked BBQ chicken. So, BAM! That’s what we’re having.

Salt dry brined for 90 mins, coated in some remastered SBRs with lots of flavor goodies in it.

400°F for the first 20, then 350° for the remaining 40/45.

Serving with roasted cauli, grilled ‘sparagus and served with some stiff margs. Let the party begin!

tasty looking bird there, Brett!.... looks like its getting to be about time to restock the tequila, though... :)
I keep 3-4 of these in stock at all time. You can never run out of tequila. Party foul!

Usually we have some leftovers on grilled chicken. But not this time. 100% gone. It was real good, with a little twang and heat. SBRs is a great starting point for modding any sauce.
 
Bret, if you like to cook using Tequila, here is a recipe that I posted here over two years ago.

Tequila-Orange Chicken Breasts

For the Marinade:
1/2 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup tightly packed fresh Italian Parsley leaves with some stems
1/2 cup fresh orange Juice
2 TB. TEQUILA
2 TB. extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp. minced jalapeno pepper, without seeds
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground chili powder
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

4 boneless chicken breast halves (with skin), about 6 oz. each

To make the marinade: In a food processor combine the marinade ingredients and process until smooth.
1. Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Remove the chicken from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, and boil for 1 full minute.
3. Grill the breasts, skin side down, over Direct Medium heat until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, 8 to 12 minutes, turning and basting with the marinade once halfway through grilling time. Serve warm. Makes 4 servings

I can say right now, that recipe will need more tequila. A lot more 🤩😎👍
 
Man, back here it would be a very small meet-up...maybe two people.
If you left coasters wouldn't mind, please move east.
