bbq: I am having a party and don't want to spend all day at the grill. Can I cook the chicken the day before and then throw it on the grill to BBQ?|||Absolutely! Actually, that would work great because chicken takes so long to cook on the grill it's easy to burn sections. If I were you I'd buy a pre-cut chicken (saves time), rub it with olive oil and season with salt & pepper (maybe a little garlic powerder) and cook it in a pre-heated oven 375 degs. for about 45 minutes. Then wrap it in foil and save in the refrigerator. About 1/2 hour before you put it on your preheated medium high grill take it out of the refrigerator to take the chill off. Place it on your well-oiled grill for about 4 minutes each side. Marinate with BBQ sauce and grill an additional 4 minutes each side. Allow to "rest" for a few minutes before serving. Total grilling time is only a little over 15 minutes!! (and you could throw some corn on the cob on there while grilling the chicken!)|||Here is a really good sauce I know how to make: White Rosemary Barbecue Sauce: * 2/3 cup mayonnaise * Grated zest of 1/2 lemon * 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice * 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary * 1 large garlic clove, crushed through a press * 1 teaspoon salt * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Prepare 4 days in advance. To make the sauce, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, and garlic together. Refrigerate for 3 days. On the 2nd day, season your chicken with the salt and pepper and place in a separate self-sealing plastic bag. Refrigerate for the remaining day. The day of your party... Lightly oil the cooking grate. Place the chicken on the grill and cook until the undersides are opaque and seared with grill marks, about 4 minutes. Turn, brush with about half of the sauce, and grill until the other side is seared, about 4 minutes longer. Turn, brush with the remaining sauce, and grill, turning occasionally, until the chicken feels firm when pressed, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a carving board and let stand for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut into thick slices, transfer to a platter, and serve hot. Enjoy :-D|||I have had this happen to me. Fry up your chicken first, to over fry it, this will help the cooking time on the BBQ, I have put the BBQ sauce on it after frying and let it set for a little bit in the oven under warm. When it was time for the BBQ, it only took a little time to cook and it was fun, the sauce tastes wonderful on the chicken, I use flour and garlic salt to fry the chicken.|||I'd boil the chicken to get it close to done. Then toss in a large bowl or container and toss with sauce....then all you have to do is put on the grill and sear the sauce for a while....I love my bbq chicken with the sauce cooked on it/ into it- almost burnt!! So thats what I would do...|||sorry wrong name
