Hands down best grilled chicken breast. That simple marinade that doesn’t take 3 or 4 hours is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@Searedandsmoked]

awesome... glad it worked for you... one of our house favorites

[@RoddyAlt]

I’m going to try this very soon on an older Weber Genesis that I’m in the process of restoring. I tell you what, with this simple and delicious method, this can be a staple breast meat for so many dishes: salads, tacos, fajitas, pasta dishes, grilled chicken sandwiches, etc. Thanks a bunch for sharing!

[@Searedandsmoked]

thanks! hope you enjoy the recipe!

[@bennyezzy]

4:46 felt in love with your backyard bro. It's green and colorful. Plus the chicken looks good AF

[@Searedandsmoked]

Thanks man... It's a good summer backyard... man I wish it looked like that now... I look forward to spring!

[@derek8067]

Great recipe! Family requests this all the time. The wife asks for me grill this often just so she can have it during the week on her lunch salads at work. It's great for bbq too, I just quickly glaze them towards the end 😋 to finish. It Also makes tasty drumsticks. I do 3-6 hrs in a pickle brine, rinse, dry rub, 30min marinade, then glaze wth a bbq sauce towards end to finish. One of my favorites is on grilled salmon, wife hates any recipes that use lemon so this is great alternative. I have to mix this rub in obscene amounts for use at home, camping, at the cabin. Guaranteed to impress your guests.

[@Searedandsmoked]

thanks derek... that is awful nice of you to say... glad the family is enjoying all the food off the grill!

I made this for the second time in a couple of weeks and again, it turned out PERFECT. OUTSTANDING recipe!!! You are truly a hero. By chance, what do you think about brining the chicken first? Thanks for sharing. YAMAS!

[@Searedandsmoked]

I am not a huge fan of brining chicken with a wet brine. Especially if you are going to season it again prior to cooking. I feel like it changes the texture in a way I do not love sometimes. I do like pre-seasoning / dry brines or shorter marinades such as this type of setup.

[@stephaniegee3481]

Made this tonight with your recipe, my son said, "This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had!" Hubby and I also approved, thanks for sharing.

[@juniper4915]

Looks so good. Can you taste the vinegar? And can I marinate it longer in the fridge?

[@Searedandsmoked]

You can marinate it longer in the fridge if needed. I have not done overnight with this, but several hours is fine. You do not taste the vinegar so much.... just a nice balance of sweet, salty, and tanginess.

[@symalus]

Thank You! I had it prepped and then got rained out so I just did it in an air fryer at 400. Glazed at 155. Cooked to 165. Turned out awesome.

chicken seasoning is my go to ,Thanks use it weekly. do you have a Go To Steak seasoning like the chicken seasoning. Your chicken seasoning was fantastic, to make a large amount like that it lasts 2 months. Looking for a steak rub

[@maryhauser7772]

I was looking to see if anyone else thought 12 T brown sugar was too much. I guess not since no comments on it, but I ended up reading all the comments and learned about not washing chicken. I honestly never knew that (I'm still in the Julia Child time zone, ha!)! But Keegan's advice is well taken about removing the slime. Thanks for a great video. Trying it tonight.

[@Searedandsmoked]

people really get scared about rinsing chicken it turns out... I still do it though. 12 T of sugar sounds high, but there is a lot of salt in the rub too.... so its more of sweet & salty combo that works well. If you were do divide everything by 4 for a smaller batch, it would seem less scary. this make a lot, as I use it a bunch. make a few batches a year for the house. Thanks for watching

[@maryhauser7772]

[@Searedandsmoked]

thanks! hope you like it!

[@oogam123]

Keegan, should I wait about 20 seconds or so after I put the first side of the chicken breast on the grill and close the lid to start the time? I notice the temperature drops to about 425 or so when I open the grill to place the chicken.

[@Searedandsmoked]

I would experiment a bit. In the end, the finishing internal temperature depends on chicken breast thickness and time/temperature on the grill. Every grill is a little different.... but with a few experiments, you will dial in the right process for you and your grill.

[@Labfolk1]

Great looking chicken! I don't have good knives so wonder if you can get the same result by pounding the chicken flat? Thanks.

[@Searedandsmoked]

yes... that also works. I usually just do not do that because I feel like there if more cleanup. that is a good alternative though... good point

[@brianmason3941]

Okay, Mr. Keegan. Here we go. July 11, 2022. 2 years after you put up this video. Imma do it. No vinegar so I’ll use lemon juice. Wife has gone to Saskatchewan, so now I’m in charge. No more dried chicken!!!

[@shweetiepetina1563]

It started raining and I had to bring them in. All I had was a microwave. How long should I cook them? Still pink inside but the grill marks look good.

[@dougdozier8782]

Would this basically be the same on your Weber charcoal grill?

[@Searedandsmoked]

yes... directly over hot coals for 2-3 minutes a side, then check internal temp... finish away from the coals if for a few minutes if they are looking to "toasty" at some point.

[@dougdozier8782]

@@Searedandsmoked What temp do you cook them at like on a Weber charcoal? Both vents are wide open and my temp gets up to 550 to 600F. I don't know if the temp monitor is that accurate or not though. It's located near the top of my Weber lid.

thanks! hope you give it a try... its a favorite

[@RebeccaSwain-i6p]

I will be making this. I went to the store and bought the rice vinegar.

[@jayrough3383]

Do you put the rub and marinade on both sides? If you cook on charcoal how long on both sides? I’m making this when I go camping

[@Searedandsmoked]

I do use the rub/marinade on both sides. adjust for thickness... go light if they are really thin. grill for 3 minutes a side if its covered charcoal. perhaps a little longer if needed. always trust a good meat thermometer and look for 160F and rest for a few minutes

[@wyattwilloughby345]

I have a new Big Joe, with no prior experience with ceramic grills other then the first 8 cooks over the past couple of weeks...all decent to good, but not the sort of results one hopes for from such an awesome beast of a grill. My wife essentially hates chicken breast. Years of corporate meetings with dried chicken breast served for lunch has left her with a strong anti-chicken bias. I tried this recipe (put the chicken on at 580 degrees, 2 min first side, 2.5 min the second) over direct heat. It was great and even my anti-chicken wife had to agree. Keep up the good work!

[@Searedandsmoked]

Sluce them in half, Rub on Aldi Piri Piri salt both sides. Chuck them on low temp and drink beer. Spritz spray with olive oil (i use an empty Fry Light bottle repurposed for olive oil) Near end use real butter and smear a knob on (not margarine knock offs) for last 5 minutes. Cut one as a test. Easy. Thank you for this video i trial and error for ages to get to this foolproof steady consitant method you have put here. Do you have a fast track method for beef burnt end briskit please? I did it with a roasting joint in 3.5 hours using bbq and kept warm in an electric fan oven covered up. I was a bit drunk and i cant remember it all!! Everyone loved it - did it in 1kg chunks x 3 and finished it in the oven with loads of fresh garlic chopped and loads of butter. So bad and so good!

[@RedwolfDogrocket]

And chipotle!

[@mattd313]

How long does it take to get to 550? I have the same grill but haven't gotten it that hot.... maybe I just need to wait longer...

[@Searedandsmoked]

For the weber gas grills, I usually pre heat for about 30 minutes to make sure its nice and hot. If it does not get that high, still give it a try after you know its reached close to max temperature.

Don't have rice wine vinegar. Any other substitute? Ancho Chile? Is that a powder?

[@Searedandsmoked]

Yes, the ancho chile is a powder. I get mine from penzeys.com The Rice Vinegar is nice to use... on the lighter side. You could give a squeeze of lemon over the top or use a touch of another type of vinegar you have on hand. I would stock the rice vinegar though....it works well.

[@careypitts8480]

Late to the party on this, but I just tried this recipe today. It was excessively salty on chicken. Which ingredient(s) would be the primary source of excessive salt?

[@Searedandsmoked]

If you want it less salty, you can cut down on the kosher salt and celery salt in the rub. Or... just season less using the same mix.

[@hankap.4009]

The celery salt isn't overwhelming?

[@Searedandsmoked]

If you cake it on... it will be too salty, but I have received a lot of good feedback on this rub. Great on chicken, pork, and salmon... still my go to for making a large batch of rub that is good on anything.

[@jeremydaileysr.8243]

[@polar_dog1]

Can 6 tablespoons of Chilli powder be a substitute for the 6 tablespoons of ancho chili

[@Searedandsmoked]

Generally, yes but you may have some variation to this original recipe. You may want to cut the onion power / garlic powder in half though, and not add any cayenne to start. Most stock "chili powders" have added seasoning and heat. So... I would make a smaller batch to start out if you are using a generic chili powder. If you end up finding it too salty or spicy, then you might want to buy Ancho.

Excited to try this but may need to tweak the rub a little for the salts and sugar content (dietary restrictions) hope it works

[@Searedandsmoked]

right on. do you have to avoid both sugar and salt, or just one of them?

[@Mimilyynnn]

I'm making chicken alfredo for my nephews graduation reception. Could I just use the olive oil with salt, pepper, garlic salt & onion powder instead? Do you think it would still be as juicy? I also plan to marinate the chicken breast for at least 24 hours. I'm not sure how it will turn out, my chicken always dries out on the grill. I'm a bit nervous, just because I'll be making the dish for over 25+ visitors.

[@Searedandsmoked]

So, I think the most important part is cutting the chicken into consistent thicknesses, so it cooks evenly and fast. The 2nd most important is the seasoning and olive oil / rice vinegar marinade. If you are going to marinade over night, I would probably agree on not adding the rice vinegar. Then just go hot and fast on the grill. if you are worried about results, make a small little sample batch. good luck!
