Reverse Barbecue Chicken | The Secret to Extra-Juicy Grilled Chicken | Food Wishes

Gorgeous, perfectly cooked barbecued chicken is not the easiest thing to do, but in this video you’ll learn a fool proof method inspired by the reverse sear steak technique.

  1. Just bake it on the grill then finish direct
    You're lighting the charcoal anyway.
    I've always made chicken that way.

  2. What happened to SFQ?? 😮😢
    Weber, I see an effective marketing opportunity!!! Send him one of everything!!!

  3. All these years, and you never thought to mention we can grill with just 14 of those little bricks? A handful? Your last name isn't Kingsford, is it? 😆

  4. Okay yeah definitely excited to see the cornbread crepes! What a great idea – love the idea of an "on-theme" flatbread to go with southern BBQ! Never change, Chef John!

  5. hmm i wonder if chef John was inspired by that recent Alton Brown video where he spatchcocked a whole chicken.

  6. This is the best way to BBQ chicken, you can prep it all in advance and you don't have to wait forever on the day when everyone wants to be eating and having a good time.

  7. I don’t even know how many years I’ve been following you. Your recipes really helped me learn Western cuisine back when I was in culinary school in 2013. Thank you for sharing all your videos over the years. I’m a chef now, and I still remember being a greenhorn when I first discovered your YouTube channel 😊❤from Malaysia.

  8. I love my expert grill. It cost me 25 dollars (walmart) and uses way less charcoal than a weber. Perfect for family of 2 – 3

  9. Chef John of the Addictive Voice has gone over the top with this whole procedure. So simple, so logical. Thank you Chef John with the Addictive Voice.

  10. Try eating the cornbread tortilla chicken tacos with a wedge of lime and a shot of tequila.
    And then another bite.
    And another shot.
    You are after all the Milli Vanilla of drinking your Tequila.

  11. In my experience with chicken, it's one of the easiest proteins to soak up marinades and flavors. Gorgeous recipe here.

  12. Why can’t you just indirect heat cook on the grill and then finish it over direct heat?
