Preparation Steps
Preparing the Chicken
First, prepare your chicken by making deep cuts into the legs and thighs. This allows the flavours to penetrate deeply into the meat. In a large bowl, add 4 tablespoons of Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub and a drizzle of cooking oil. Massage the rub thoroughly into the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes to infuse the flavours.
Grilling the Chicken
Preheat your charcoal grill to a medium-high temperature. Place the marinated chicken on the grill, ensuring it’s positioned over direct heat. Cook the chicken on the grill, flipping it after one side is cooked.
Brush the chicken with melted butter to enhance its flavour and keep it juicy. Continue grilling the chicken until both sides are cooked through and have a nice char.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your juicy BBQ chicken hot off the grill with your favourite sides. Coleslaw, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad make great accompaniments to this dish. It also tastes delicious on its own with a garnish of fresh salad. For a complete meal, consider serving it with some warm bread or rice.
