WHAT MALCOM USED IN THIS RECIPE:
- Primo Grills - www.primogrill...
- Killer Hogs Hot Rub bit.ly/TheHotRub
- Malcom's Bird Brine bit.ly/H2Qbird...
- Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce bit.ly/TheBBQSauce

Old School BBQ Chicken Ingredients:
- 8pc chicken skin on, bone in
- 2 cups water
- 1 bottle Wickers BBQ Marinade
- 1 lemon sliced
- 1/4 cup Malcom's Bird Brine
- 1/2 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub (divide into 2 portions)
- 1 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce
- 2oz Killer Hogs Hot Sauce
Directions:
1. Place the chicken pieces in a large zip top bag and pour in the Wickers marinade. Add 1/4 cup Bird Brine and 1/4 cup of Hot Rub to the water and stir well. Pour this mixture over the chicken and squeeze the lemon slices then drop in the bag. Make sure all pieces of chicken are covered and close the bag squeezing as much air out as possible. Place bag in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours at least.
2. Remove the chicken pieces from the brine and place on a raised wire rack to air dry for 30 minutes. Season with Hot Rub on all sides.
3. Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect cooking using a 2 zone method - Hot side and Cool side. Adjust the air vents so the grill temperature reaches 350 degrees.
4. Place the chicken on the cool side of the grill skin side up until the internal temperature reaches 150-155 degrees.
5. Combine the bbq sauce, vinegar sauce, and hot sauce in a small container. Brush the skin side with the sauce and cook for 10 minutes. Flip each piece over and brush sauce over the back side and cook for 10 minutes.
6. Right at the very end move each piece of chicken over to the direct heat side of the grill and glaze on both sides. Don't walk away because it can burn really quick. The breast should reach an internal temperature of 165 and the dark meat should go to at least 175.

the nostalgia ... my grandfather grilling chicken w/ bbq sauce over a little hibachi grill at the beach is one of my fav memories

[@EricNorton-n9f]

To Mr Reed, even though we have never met, you've been so Instrumental in making me the best cook in the neighborhood. Not only the step by step is informative, but also entertaining. You have no idea how many people appreciate your efforts and education to help the rest of us learn to be a top notch pit master. I can watch your videos for days on end. You made me LOVE to go out and cook once again. I always am cooking, but seldom looking. Thank you so much Mr Reed.

[@josiah786]

I rarely comment on videos, but I felt compelled to say this. Malcolm's chicken and his ribs are the best recipes I've ever put on the table. I've done his oxtail and turkey recipes too. His 50/50 vinegar and BBQ sauce is by far my favorite sauce combo. I've tried recipes from other channels too, Kent Rollins, Meat church, and Mad Scientist BBQ, to name a few, but Malcom always comes out ahead. So my family and I thank you for the good food I've been cooking through the years thanks to your products, recipes, and cooking tips.

Доброго здоровья, можно узнать рицепт, соуса с уксусом 50/50.Я только учусь готовить на угольном гриле. Мало знаю рецептов, подскажите пожалуйста и моя семья, скажит вам Спасибо. У нас в продаже, слабый выбор готовых к маринаду приправ, можит напишите, какие нужны специи, буду очень благодарен. Спасибо.

We tend to get wrapped up in the fancy and difficult meals, but classic BBQ chicken like this is hard to beat

[@JonathanThompson1320]

I do ribs and brisket for people. But when it's for me, and it's my turn, it's either barbecue chicken drumsticks and thighs, or barbecue tri-tip. Fast, easy, great flavor. Mouth is happiest on those days.

Malcolm is the best BBQer out there!! I've been doing his recipes for years. And the one liners keep coming one after another... 😂 "I gotta do some housekeeping." as he wipes the BBQ sauce off his face...😊 As he takes a bite of piping hot sauce-covered thigh... "ya'll'd be smart to let that cool a bit." 😂 Keep 'em comin', Malcolm!!!❤

[@efg1311]

That is exactly how my dad made bbq chicken when I was a kid and it’s my favorite way to eat chicken. Fresh off the grill or midnight snack/day after, it just doesn’t get better than that. I miss my dad so these videos from Malcomb are special for me. Thank you Malcomb

[@keisenburg9828]

I've made this recipe 3 times now. It's the BEST bbq chicken. Used both Killer Hogs rub and bbq sauce. Cant beat it! Thanks Malcolm!

The Vinegar and The BBQ sauce are great alone but EXCELLENT mixed together!

Ol faithful. No one complains about classic bbq chicken with some coleslaw and some Mac and cheese!!

[@gd3design63]

That ain’t old-school bbq chicken….that’s ‘new’ old-school bbq chicken. We didn’t know all these tips and tricks back in the 70s and 80s. My dad and uncles used to burn up half the chicken and there was always tin foil involved, and they had never heard of two zone cooking.. 😂😂😂 But we loved it, and I sure do miss it. Some of my favorite memories are from cookouts at family get togethers in the summer. Awesome video, thanks for bringing back good memories. Happy memorial day, cheers!

[@rytiski]

Sounds like your folks didn't know how to cook like mine didn't 🤣🤣🤣. But when I got to some of my cousins, they had either a 2 zone fire or they had a deep pit. One thing for sure though, either way we all had fun. The best fun was hearing my mom and others that couldn't cook talk trash to my cousins that could only to find out that my cousins food was the only ones that didn't make it to the to go plates. 🤣🤣🤣

[@anthonyz5671]

So make your own video. My familly never used foil. 😂

Have made two of your recipes so far and both were a smashing success (the other was the garlic butter filet mignons). This was easy to follow and resulted in my best bbq chicken so far after years of cooking. You have also gotten me to start using my Big Green Egg again after becoming frustrated with temperature control. Your recipes are easy to follow, you explain everything clearly and the phenomenal results are the best proof statement out there. Thank you so much.

[@mikecrabtree8200]

When I was growing up. We were never in a position to bbq anything unless it was in a skillet on the stove in the kitchen. But the best BBQ Chicken I remember was done by my mom, and she used catsup or ketchup as the sauce, and man was that good. My tastebuds were about 7 years old so take that for what you can.

[@brianmcguire979]

Perfect holiday weekend BBQ recipe! Also, the spice selections from your online shop are the best, we use them across the board. Thank you.

[@marshal1808]

Oh, the memories, bbq is the best way to eat. It's been a long while, though, I only remember maybe two types of marinades we used to use. Although I still remember the rough areas where you can get good old school, bbq. Deliciousness 🥳. Once I have a bbq machine, I will try to make some or go get some in those bbq seller areas.

Hey Malcolm....try mixing Cajun Power Garlic sauce with your BBQ sauce...I love that stuff!!!!!!!

Malcolm's bbq sauce is by far the best iv ever had!! The worst part of buying it is if u run out no other sauce will come close. Iv been buying his rubs for several years now and last year was my first year with his bbq sauce and I can't stop getting it. I have 6 bottles coming in the mail tomorrow. Memorial weekend will be several days of killer hog I'll have to put in another order by Monday lol.

I've been a Traeger user for quite some time and just recently switched to Asmoke. Honestly, the difference in the grilling experience has been night and day. Asmoke's temperature control is so precise, and I love being able to adjust and monitor the temperature remotely through the app. It's really changed the game for me. I've found that my BBQ chicken is more tender and flavorful with Asmoke, perhaps because of the variety of wood pellet flavors available for this grill. I also appreciate how portable the Asmoke Essential is, it's perfect for outings and it's easy to clean. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 10 hours and it charges pretty quickly too. I am definitely an Asmoke convert now and I'm looking forward to many more BBQ sessions with this amazing grill. #Asmoke
