Sobrecoxas de frango grelhadas ao molho barbecue

Ingredientes

• 3 pounds chicken thighs ((skin on, bone in))
• 1/4 cup dry spice rub
• 1 cup BBQ sauce

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Season and apply the dry rub to the thighs and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 45 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring them up to room temperature while you set up the grill for two-zone cooking with the direct side on medium-high heat (325° to 350° F).

3. 3

   Lightly oil the grates, then place the chicken thighs skin-side down over the direct heat with the lid closed until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn thighs over and cook on the second side until browned.

4. 4

   Move the thighs over to the indirect heat side of the grill and use a heatproof basting brush to apply about 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce to both sides of the chicken (finishing with the skin side up).

5. 5

   Close the lid and cook for about 20 minutes before brushing both sides again with about 1/4 cup more BBQ sauce.

6. 6

   Continue to cook until the internal temperature of the thighs reaches 175° F, about 20 minutes longer. (Verify with a meat thermometer)

7. 7

   Transfer the chicken to a cutting board or serving platter and rest uncovered for 10 minutes before serving with more BBQ sauce.
