Apple Glazed Barbecue Chicken
Keys: Chicken Grilled Smoked Bbq Barbequed Barbecued Low Calorie Fat
Free Diet Poultry Yield: 6
Ingredients:
1 can apple juice, frozen concentrate (6 ounce) thawed
1/4 cup low sodium ketchup
2 tbl packed brown sugar
1 tbl cider vinegar
1 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp Tabasco sauce
6 x boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces
each)
Method:
In a small saucepan, combine the apple juice concentrate, ketchup, brown
sugar, vinegar, thyme and hot- pepper sauce. Cook, stirring, over medium
heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from the heat and cool
to room temperature. Place the chicken in a single layer in a
13-by-9-inch baking pan. Pour about half of the cooled ketchup mixture
over the chicken, turning once to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate
both the chicken and the remaining ketchup mixture for 4 to 24 hours.
Coat a grill rack with nonstick spray. Then light the grill according
the manufacturer's directions. Check the temperature for grilling; the
temperature should be medium-hot (see the Test Kitchen Tip below). Place
the rack on the grill. Remove the chicken from the ketchup mixture;
discard whatever ketchup mixture remains in the baking pan. Coat the
chicken pieces with nonstick spray and brush them with some of the
remaining ketchup mixture. Place the chicken on the rack and grill,
uncovered, for 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over and brush with the
remaining ketchup mixture. Grill for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the
chicken is tender and cooked through. Discard any remaining ketchup
mixture.
TEST KITCHEN TIP: When grilling, here's how to test the temperature of
the coals: Place your hand 4 inches over the heat source. Count the
number of seconds that the palm of your hand can withstand the heat
before you have to remove your hand. For a hot temperature, that should
be 2 seconds. For a medium-hot temperature, it should be 3 seconds.
Medium heat would be 4 seconds, and low would be 5 seconds.
To broil the chicken instead of grilling it, coat the rack of a broiling
pan with nonstick spray. Remove the chicken from the ketchup mixture;
discard whatever ketchup mixture remains in the baking pan. Coat the
chicken pieces with nonstick spray and brush them with some of the
remaining ketchup mixture. Place the chicken on the rack. Broil 4 inches
from the heat for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and brush again with
the remaining ketchup mixture. Broil for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the
chicken is tender and cooked through. Discard any remaining ketchup
mixture.
