Bourbon Glazed Chicken With Jake's Famous BBQ Rubs and Sauces for Sale

Bourbon Glaze BBQ Rubs and Sauces for Sale

Many of you know that Jake's has been making famous bbq rubs and sauces for sale for more than 15 years now.  We've also been making and collecting world famous recipes which make for some awesome barbecue meals.  One of our favorites is the blending of two great recipes our Bourbon Glaze combined with our BBQ Chicken recipe.  We're going to be using our Jake's Famous bbq rubs and sauces for sale so we'll put in all the appropriate links to help you make this great meal.

Let's get started.  This is where we ask the question, which came first, the chicken or the glaze?  Well it's a good and sometimes great idea to begin the preparation of the chicken, long before the preparation of the glaze.  Then again you might want to make the glaze in advance so that all the flavors mature long before the chicken is done.  No matter, we'll start with the chicken first.

Selecting the best chicken possible is at the root of any good chicken dish.  Ensure that the chicken is fresh with plenty of time on the clock in regards to the spoilage date.  Once selected clean the chicken thoroughly inside and out if using a whole chicken.  We'll be showing you the simplest method for making BBQ chicken so let's make that happen.

The simplest method we know is using an oven.  Yes, we are a BBQ Company and Yes, we love using grills to get this done.  So, we'll tell you all about the oven process first, then we'll follow up with the outdoor grill.

Grab a container or a large plastic bag.  You'll need a bag that will seal tightly if using one.  Otherwise a container with a lid works just fine.  The container and bag must be able to contain the entire chicken segment(s) you intend to BBQ.  Coat the chicken with BBQ rubs and sauces for sale in the container.  I would suggest using Jake's Famous Really Good Mild BBQ Sauce primarily because the sauce contains a nice level of marinating ingredients like vinegar, garlic, molasses and spices all combined to complement the marinating process.  Once the BBQ Sauce has been applied it's a good idea to allow the chicken to rest in the sauce for at least an hour or two.  I think it's a really good idea to turn the chicken about 1/2 way through the marinating process.  Turning will ensure that the chicken is coated on both sides.

One thing I might add is that the marinating process is the same for both the Oven method and the BBQ Grill method.

Following the marinating process remove the chicken and discard the marinade.  Set you oven to 350 degrees.  Ensure that the chicken is placed in a roasting pan or in a container that can be used in the oven.  Bake/roast the chicken for a minimum of 1 hour.  Check the temperature of the chicken after the hour.  The chicken should be at a minimum of l70 degrees.  After the temperature is reached allow the chicken to rest for at least 20 minutes.  During the baking/resting process you can gather the ingredients to make your famous Jake's Bourbon Glaze.  We love this recipe and the results it yields, so go ahead and get started.  But first let's consider what's needed if we decided to use our BBQ Grill as opposed to the oven.

For the BBQ Grill layout your charcoal to ensure that all the edges are touching.  Layout approximate 1/3 of the bag of charcoal as it will take some time to grill the chicken.  Once the charcoal is laid out use a chimney starter or use some basic newspaper to get the charcoals started.  When started allow the charcoal to cook until all of the charcoal is now lit.  If using a method such as Snake or Double Snake then you'll start the front end of the charcoal such that they will cook in a domino effect following from one set of briquette to the next.  At a minimum we want the temperature to be around 300 degrees.  Once the temperature has peaked remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill.  We will be indirectly roasting the chicken so let's place it about midways away from the main heat of the grill.  Also, now might be a good time to consider adding some wood for wood smoke.  Consider using hickory or red oak wood for a really nice wood smoke flavor.

Allow the chicken to grill for about 2 hours minimum.  Keep in mind that chicken takes a long time to properly grill.  So, a good 2 hours of grilling is reasonable.

Check the temperature of the chicken in the thigh area if grilling or baking/roasting a whole chicken.  If using chicken segments such as breast or thigh pieces you will also check to ensure that the pieces reach at least 170 degrees before removing and resting.

Once properly baked/grilled remove the chicken and place in a container.  Allow the chicken to rest for a minimum of 20 minutes.  Now comes time to make the glaze.

Bourbon Glaze on BBQ

The Bourbon BBQ Glaze recipe is perfect for chicken, fish or steaks.  It's relatively easy to make but does require a number of ingredients.  Best bets are to print out the listing then make sure you have all the items before beginning the process of making the glaze.  Items like Jake's Famous Maple Bourbon BBQ Sauce and Jake's Famous Ketchup can be ordered during the week and take an average 2 days to arrive on a normal schedule.  Also, even though the glaze uses our signature Maple Bourbon BBQ Sauce keep in mind that the Bourbon used in the sauce is actually non-alcoholic Natural Bourbon and Maple flavors.


Glaze Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Jake's Famous Maple Bourbon BBQ Sauce
1/4 Cup Butter
2 Medium Onions, minced
2/3 Cup Jake's Famous Ball Park Ketchup
1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Cup Fresh Orange Juice
1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
1/3 Cup Dark Un-Sulphured Molasses
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Salt


Optional Items:
In place of Jake's Maple Bourbon BBQ Sauce you can use 3/4 C Bourbon (**Inexpensive is fine and optional, you can substitute something else with similar flavoring if desired)

Steps:
1. In a large saucepan melt the butter with the oil over medium heat.
2. Add the 2 Medium Onions Minced, sauté for 5 minutes or until Onions turn golden in color.
3. Add remaining ingredients into the sauce pan; reduce heat to low and cook until mixture thickens about 30 minutes stirring frequently.

Bourbon Glaze BBQ Rubs and Sauces for Sale on Ribs

When the glaze reaches your desired thickness you can let the ingredients cool for 5 minutes then spoon directly on your meat. For thicker glaze just continue reducing ingredients for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

One of the great things about the glaze is that after your initial use you can store it in a container for a week or two in the fridge.  The glaze reheats easily and you can add additional glaze to the existing amount when your stock runs low.

Use our bbq rubs and sauces for sale to make the bourbon glaze on chicken, fish, ribs, steaks, turkey, lamb and more.  This is a wonderful glaze and when combined with nicely roasted chicken is an awesome taste.

Enjoy the process and enjoy the Glaze.

BBQ Chicken Recipe

BBQ Chicken Grill

 

Superb BBQ Chicken Recipe in Tangy Mustard makes this gourmet dish a joy for all chicken lovers......

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3/4 cup yellow mustard
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/3 cup cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 T Jake's Santa Barbara Smoked Rub Seasonings

Directions
Our BBQ Chicken Recipe in Tangy Mustard Sauce starts with boneless, skinless Chicken breasts. Some say that boneless breasts will dry out faster than bone-in breasts and this may be true but not in our recipe. We’ll be preparing the chicken by first ensuring that is it clean and ready for our premium ingredients. Secondly, we’ll ensure that the chicken is moist and ready to receive our preparatory coating. We’ll be using a marinade of yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. We’ll make a nice blend of the ingredients then we’ll coat each breast thoroughly with the mixture.

Following that we’ll leave the breasts to rest in the mixture for about 1 hour. After the 1 hour resting period we’ll be bringing the chicken up in flavor by adding one of our Famous dry rubs. We like the contrast between the mustard, Worcestershire combination and our Santa Barbara Smoked Rub. The dry rub is natural, blended with copious amounts of Hungarian Paprika, Chili Powder, Smoked Kosher Salt and Maple Sugar not to mention all the other spices and ingredients. This is a perfect dry rub that adds an enormous amount of flavor to the meat with a very satisfying pinch of heat. Once the natural dry rub has been added to the BBQ Chicken Recipe we’ll let the chicken rest for another hour. The hour will further confirm the addition of the dry rub by layering in the taste. Now comes the fun part, the bbq cooking.

We’ll be doing some open grilling of the bbq chicken breasts. We’ll need some standard no-light charcoal briquettes, some wood chunks and of course a charcoal bbq grill. I would suggest a chimney starter that can collect the briquettes and light them in preparation of the barbecue. In addition this entire process should take about 1 hour from start to finish. That essentially means once the chicken is marinated and rested we combine the time in which the charcoal burns and reaches it optimum temperature plus the time it takes to grill the chicken breasts.

In addition we’ll be making a Bourbon Glaze Sauce that can be ladled onto a plate along side the bbq chicken if desired. Even simpler is to heat some of our Jake’s Famous barbecue sauce and reserve that along side the finished bbq chicken.


Grill or broil chicken until done. Optionally you can baste the chicken with the reserved bbq sauce and cook for additional 10 minutes. The Chicken is done when no longer pink in center. You may now serve the chicken along with the reserved sauce.

Our BBQ Chicken recipes provide you the best in flavor and taste much like our popular mouthwatering savory dry rubs. Jake's Famous brand Pure Santa Maria Rub is excellent for chicken, tri tip, steaks, ribs and more. This key dry rub will build new levels of flavor onto bbq chicken recipes and is our go to at practically every barbecue our Tri-Tip, Steak and Rib Rub for sale are both superior blends of herbs and spices that improve upon the old standard Santa Maria Style BBQ Chicken Recipes.

Over the years our Chicken Rub has become a main line staple on the barbecue scene.  True BBQ Chicken recipes require time and patience and most people buy them because they understand the time and energy it takes to produce and exceptional tasting meal.  We season our Chicken with our then we let the BBQ Chicken preparation marinate in the dry rub seasoning for a minimum of an hour. The Chicken after preparation is covered and placed in a fridge on a middle shelf during the marinating process.

If we choose to smoke the chicken we complete the process by using wood fire (Red Oak) or Charcoal with smoking chips. If using smoking chips make sure you soak the chips in water for at least 2 hours. Then put a handful of chips on the coals or in a smoke box once you have reached the right temperature for smoking.  I take BBQ Sauce or our special recipe Bourbon Glaze warm that and hold for serving with the Brisket.  That warmed sauce becomes more of a condiment at this point and my guests are afforded the opportunity to lather on as much sauce as they prefer during their eating process.

If your time is critical we can give you more time more efficiently by reducing the amount of it you waste on non productive things especially during a barbecue. To that end we are listing some of the key dry rubs we use when making our bbq chicken recipe. We have also listed an additional barbecue chicken recipe to give you options on just how to use your sauces.
