How to Grill Chicken on Weber Kettle for Beginners | SJ Cooks

[@TheBeardedItalian]

Beautiful cook Sal!! Perfect instructional video brother!! Chicken looked amazing!!👊🏼🍻

[@SJCOOKS]

ThAnk you!

[@cookingwithtrish]

I know dark meat has more flavor but I prefer white meat of the chicken . From start to finish , you made this whole process seem easy . I’ve always been afraid to grill so I leave that to my husband lol

[@SJCOOKS]

hopefully people find this video useful. thighs are my favorite part, nobody in the family likes the breast. I usually just end up shredding it and making quesadillas with it or dump it on a salad. Next time you should take control of the grill, I try to encourage the wife to get out there and cook on it as often as I can, for beginners I always recommend they have 2 zones in their grill, so if things get too hot, you can put your meat over to the "cool" side. It's kind of a safety net and really helps with the fear people have of burning their food.

Great videos for someone like me who is a true grill beginner. Just bought a Weber kettle on the black Friday sale and am excited to try your recipes.

[@SJCOOKS]

That’s fantastic! Enjoy the new grill!

I will highly recommend using boneless chicken thighs to start. Super easy and flavorful. Here's a super simple recipe you can try. Ingredients: Goya brand Sazón Goya brand Adobo Fresh Cilantro (Dry cilantro will work too) Dried Oregano flakes Italian Dressing Your fave BBQ sauce Steps; Season the chicken thighs with Goya brand Sazon (Package shown in video) and Adobo. Place the pieces in a Ziploc bag. Take the Italian dressing and pour it in a cup. You only need enough to cover the chicken, not drown it. Add fresh chopped cilantro and oregano to the cup. Pour over the chicken and let it marinate overnight in the fridge. Next day get your grill situated as posted in the video and cook the chicken thighs until 175*. Yes, 175*. Once at 175* sauce them with with favorite bbq sauce and place them over the hot coals to crispy it up a bit. That's it. Amazing Chicken! For the Sazón and Adobo, your large grocery store should carry it. I know Walmart by me does. I truly like Kinders Mild BBQ sauce. It's really, really good. I have made this recipe countless times and never had an upset eater.

@@mini_worx thank you for taking the time to post this. We'll definitely try it

[@edwilderness]

Crystal clear presentation. Between you and Ron I have found a path to being free of burnt on the outside, nearly raw inside chicken. Thanks!

[@SJCOOKS]

Whatever we can do to get people to grill more often, that’s what it’s all about. Grill on!

[@DaveandGinny972]

I've been grilling chicken for years but I've just watched your video Sal, and picked up a couple of tips! Thanks 👌

[@SJCOOKS]

Very nice! I really like this series of no attachments. I should make more

[@CookingSecretsForMen]

Excellent tutorial on chicken

[@SJCOOKS]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@RhubarbAndCod]

It's so true... chicken's the best to do up whole, especially on the Weber. Economical and so tasty. You parted it up beautifully and it was cooked to perfection Sal! Loved it!

[@SJCOOKS]

I cook chicken more often than I'd like to admit. Just like cooking a big batch, pulling it, freezing it in portions and just enjoying it on everything during the week.doesn't get any easier than pulled chicken sandwiches/salads/tacos/quesadillas/etc/etc/ETC! I can find whole chickens on sale at 99cents a pound and whole chickens at costco is pretty consistent at 1.50 /lb so it's a pretty easy choice to make. thanks for taking a look my friend!

[@tylergray9904]

This was the best tutorial on grilling chicken I've ever seen! Thank you 👍

[@holysmokebbqandsoutherncooking]

That’s some good looking grilled chicken brother!! Definitely one of my favorite ways to cook chicken. What was that seasoning you used?

[@SJCOOKS]

Thanks for checking it out! For the seasoning, It was Goya sazon seasoning which gives good color/flavor and added in additional lawries and layered in some pepper

[@holysmokebbqandsoutherncooking]

@@SJCOOKS I’ve never tried the Goya Sazon seasoning. I’ll have to give that a try!

[@TRIPLEBsBBQ]

[@richardzink6026]

The Weber kettle is the best bbq.

[@SJCOOKS]

Kettles are must haves, they are so versatile, you can cook anything!

[@L110508]

Why my charcoal always burnt out in less than one hour? Is it because my grill is too big? I'm using 26" Weber kettle and filled around 3/4 of the Weber chimney starter with charcoal. I opened bottom and top all full, after 30 minutes the temp won't go over 300F.

[@SJCOOKS]

This question comes up quite often believe it or not. Usually on the 22” if you want to go hot, you need to use more charcoal. I can drop a full lit chimney over an unlit pile and that will get it really hot!. The 26” is a beast and requires more. This is assuming you want a hot zone across the entire grate. Most of us will be creating two zones for safety and doesn’t require this much charcoal. But I think in your case try starting with more charcoal at the begining so they don’t go out on you during the cook.

[@Maplecook]

Bravo!

[@SJCOOKS]

gracias hermano!
