One of best recipes for BBQ'ing chicken may not be something that would occur to you. Mainly, because it is off the wall and really doesn't sound all that good until you bite into it.
You can prepare this on a BBQ gas grill, conventional oven, charcoal, or wood pellet grill. This way of preparing it, either on the BBQ, or in the oven, involves using a Catalina-style dressing as a marinade, and Italian seasoning, plus garlic granules as a dry rub.
Now, we will assume that you are barbecuing a whole chicken although this recipe will work just fine for chicken parts, or breasts. If you are cooking a whole chicken you will want to grill on indirect heat.
- If you are barbecuing a whole chicken, remove excess parts from cavity
- Wash the chicken thoroughly with water and pat dry
- Place chicken in a leak-proof marinating container, don't use aluminum foil
- Rub the chicken with garlic granules, outside and in the cavity
- Distribute an even amount of Catalina style dressing over the chicken and a generous amount in the cavity
- Sprinkle a light amount of Italian seasoning over the bird, and more garlic granules, no need to rub in
- Refrigerate over night
- Line a 9 by 13 metal pan with aluminum foil, you can do 2 chickens at once
- Place chicken in the pan and pour remaining fluid from the marinating pan over the chicken
- Let the chicken sit out at room temperature for at least thirty minutes, meanwhile
- Start your barbecue on just one side of the grill and build up to 325 to 340 degrees
- Cook on indirect heat for several hours, on the unheated side of the grill
- Mop with the dressing after the first hour and each half hour after that
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer
- Let the chicken sit out on the drain board for 15 minutes before carving

Thom,Another great recipe I will try. I barbarque my chicken a la Chinese with ginger, ketchup, garlic, wine and hoisin sauce. But the hoisin sauce is what makes it.
Great article! I found it very interesting and truly written through inspiration. However, I would think this article may fear EVEN better in the Homelife>Recipes section because it is applicable to many recipes that require grilling.
Thanks for the heads up, Peter! I took your advice and changed the category.
