Brined Chicken with White Sauce
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/4 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q White Sauce (page 218)
- In a medium bowl, combine the brine ingredients and mix well.
- Add the chicken breasts, making sure they are completely covered.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the brine and wipe off the excess salt.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to 400F.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grate directly over the heat and grill for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- The internal temperature of the chicken breasts should be 160F.
- Submerge each chicken breast into a bowl of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q White Sauce.
- Remove from the sauce and serve.
- The natural shape of the chicken breast is thick on one end and very thin on the other.
- To even out the thickness, press firmly with the heel of your hand on the thickest part of each breast immediately prior to putting it on the grill.
- This will ensure more even cooking.
- Direct heat
