Grill up some deliciously smoky Hickory BBQ Chicken using the Arteflame grill's unique searing and flat-top cooking method. This recipe locks in juicy flavor with a quick sear on the center grill grate at over 1,000F before slow cooking on the flat cooktop. Infused with hickory wood smoke and finished with a tangy BBQ sauce, this chicken will be the star of your cookout.
Start by getting your Arteflame grill ready for grilling. Use hickory wood for a great hickory flavored chicken. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins, place them in the grill, stack firewood on top, and light. After about 20 minutes, the grill should be hot, with the center reaching over 1,000°F for searing.
While the grill heats up, season your chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Place the chicken on the center grate to sear, skin-side down, for about 2-3 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes. This searing process locks in the juices and gives you that delicious char.
After searing, move the chicken onto the cooler outer flat-top cooktop. Add butter under the chicken to enhance flavor. Brush the BBQ sauce generously on both sides of the chicken and let it cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, flipping occasionally. This should take about 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
Remove the chicken from the grill when it hits an internal temperature of 150°F-155°F, as the meat will continue cooking to perfection while resting. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve your Hickory BBQ Chicken with grilled corn on the cob, roasted sweet potatoes, or a fresh coleslaw to balance the rich smoky flavor.
Hickory BBQ Chicken on the Arteflame grill is a mouthwatering, smoky masterpiece. The combination of hickory smoke, a perfect sear, and slow cooking on the flat-top creates tender, juicy chicken packed with flavor. Whether it's a family dinner or a backyard cookout, this BBQ chicken is sure to impress.
