How to
- First, take your whole chicken and chop it into large pieces. Place these pieces into a large bowl. Pour in 1.5 liters (about 6 cups) of buttermilk and add a bottle of your standard Italian salad dressing. Sprinkle in 4 tablespoons of PitmasterX Chicken Seasoning and mix everything thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for about 4 hours to soak up all the flavors.
- Once the marinating time is up, remove the chicken from the fridge and arrange the pieces on a drip rack. This setup will help keep your chicken crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. Now, give the chicken a generous sprinkle of PitmasterX Texas BBQ Seasoning for that extra kick of flavor.
- It's time to prep your BBQ. You'll want to set it up for indirect heat and maintain a steady temperature of 140°C or 284°F. Add some wood chips to the coals for that delightful smoky flavor. Place your chicken on the grill, away from the direct heat, allowing it to cook under the hood.
- Grill the chicken on each side until it's beautifully golden brown. This should take about an hour, depending on your BBQ and the size of the chicken pieces. The goal is to achieve a perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior.
- Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This not only helps the juices redistribute but also makes your BBQ masterpiece even more succulent. Get ready to enjoy a flavorful journey with every bite of this Smoky Buttermilk BBQ Chicken!
