Simple Grilled Bbq Split Chicken Breast
Jump to print as easy as it comes. Start grilling, chicken trim, barbecue. Then flips and sauce brush. Simple to follow, step-by-step. I think most of us average people cannot grill a split chicken breast to 165 internal temperatures without texture or burning problems. BBQ flavor is hard to get because meat is still juicy and tender. So what’s the secret to not burning the devil outside the chicken while doing the center?

Correct Grill Temperature And Having A Cooler Zone.
Grill surface temperature is 450 degrees. Typically I offer 450-500 for chicken. I’d recommend 425-475 range here. That’s more on the surface. That’s a little above-average for most gas grills and my grill medium. See A Gas Grill Temperature Beginners Guide for info.
I want a burner turned down for a cooler zone, too. Lower 300s while calculating. This would be used for parts that is too brown or smaller, cooking faster. If you only have two burners, turn it into cooking at 10-15 minutes. If you have 3 or more burners, turn one down at cooking start.
Directions Preheat gas grill to 450 surface temperature. That’s medium on my grill, but normally on most grills. Clean, gasoline. Pat’s dry chicken. Slice loose fat and rib. Break the chicken breasts into 2-3 parts each.
How To Grill Split Chicken Breasts
Place the skin side up and grill for 5 minutes. Flip skin down for 4 minutes. Continue skin periods of 5 minutes up and 4 minutes down. Build a cooler cooking zone. If you only have two burners, turn one burner into cooking at 10-15 minutes.
If you have 3 or more burners, turn one end burner down at cooking start. With smaller pieces and pieces cooking or browning too quickly, shift them as required to the lower temperature region. Brush the chicken nears with BBQ sauce about 5 minutes before the end of the cooking and then the last few minutes.

Split chicken breasts are one of the hardest grilling meats. Grilling with direct heat is the best method for smaller, boneless meat cuts, since the heat cooks the meat quickly. The bones in split chicken breasts absorb some of that heat, so it’s a little harder to cook the chicken through without drying out the breast meat. The other challenge is that chicken skin has a lot of fat and as it drips onto the burner shields, we all know what fat does.
A decent watered squirt bottle and watchful eye is all you need to tackle the challenge. Squirting down flare-ups is great fun for kids. Place them on a safe distance chair and give them a squirt bottle, and you’ve got a grill fire brigade. Although cooking properly is a challenge, split chicken breasts are also a little more forgiving if you get too high for too long.
The worst thing usually happens is burned skin and/or underside (bones). Some may argue that charred chicken skin is a delicacy, which is a perfect excuse for the next time you burn the skin! Print recettes Grill preheat Go ahead and preheat to 450° if the grill isn’t clean, give it a good scrape.
Having a hot grill is essential to a crispy skin. You can also cook it hotter and transfer it over to a grill side that has no direct heat. This two-zone heating is fantastic. Trim any extra chicken fat, then add to the mixing bowl. Apply the avocado oil or olive oil to the chicken and coat the chicken evenly. If the chicken was very wet, go ahead and pat it with a paper towel.
Flare-up You need to watch this chicken if you have a flare-up barbecue. You’re going to have some skin fat that can cause some flare-ups. Another place to stop flare-ups as burgers grill. I have the ultimate guide on how to cook burgers and check it out!
Grilled Split Chicken Breasts
Slow Grilled Chicken Breasts Recipe
Split chicken breasts are rude. They’re much cheaper per pound than boneless, skinless breasts (granted, they weigh more) plus their bones give them a natural grilling “rack” to use, resulting in better meat cutting. I wanted to try the grilling method I’d read about split breasts, and here’s the results. As I mentioned earlier, I prefer to brine chicken if I grill it to hold as much liquid as possible. While it certainly makes the chicken juicier, it takes some planning. I think it’s useful.
Bbq Split Chicken Breasts Recipe
2 Split chicken breasts 2 teaspoons each honey and sea salt 1 tsp each paprika, pepper and garam masala (I prefer Sadaf), mixed together When I got the spices for this dish, I wanted to try something mildly pungent, spicy and sweet. I thought the combination of pepper, paprika, and garam masala would be appropriate, and the latter’s cinnamon really made the dish stand out.
You could increase spiciness by replacing paprika with cayenne pepper. Place the chicken in a gallon-sized ziploc bag and pour two cups of water mixed with salt and honey. If you still have space, add more water. Refrigerate the bag for an hour and a half. If you cook more than two (I actually did four), you can need to use two bags – and, of course, increase the ingredients. Remove the breasts, rinse with cold water and pat them dry. Rub the spice mixture on both sides, but use more meat side than breast side bone side.
Sit on the kitchen counter about 10 minutes before grilling. Preheat your grill to keep one side high and the other side cold. Place the bone side of the breasts on the grill for five minutes, then switch them to the grill side for ten minutes. Placed them back on the hot side for another five minutes. Using a thermometer, check the internal temperature – if it’s at or above 160 degrees, you’re okay. If not yet, place it back on the grill’s cool side and check it every five minutes. One split breast should suffice for one male. Let them rest five minutes, no matter how fine they look.

Often I’m in a rut and stick with boneless breasts, so this week I wanted to mix it intentionally. To hold the split chicken breasts juicy on the grill, I marinated them in a buttermilk mixture overnight. (Buttermilk marinades are popular in fried chicken.)
Then, almost finished the split chicken breasts, I brushed them with a basic basting sauce made of apple juice and BBQ sauce. The end result was an amazingly juicy grilled chicken with great flavor! @18@ Here’s a few helpful grill tips to help you become your neighborhood’s summer grill master: @19@ Think of the sauce as a finishing sauce. You want it to cook a bit in the chicken, but if you brush it too early, the sugars in the sauce will burn.
@20@ Chicken is finished until the meat’s thickest section exceeds 165°F. Nothing less, underdone the chicken. Anything more, and you risk overcooked chicken.
