Easy BBQ chicken on the Weber grill

[ABlindHilbily]

Just my 3 cents......but iv'e found that the meat takes the flavor of the smoke much better within the first half hour to hour.........but dont fix what aint broken.........if it works for you

[kaakoo]

"Searing in the juices" is a myth.

[FukDaMinutemen]

nice fadeout

[golfer393]

This works pretty well but I agree there's no need to sear the chicken. I use green egg lump charcoal and put it in with a couple of green egg starters. It seems to burn hotter and longer. I don't use oil. Just soak the chicken in a brine and use a good rub.

Nice video guys! But for me it's a bit boring, the scenario needs more drive not to make watchers tired. Sure, making a bbq restricts the story line, but using different camera positions, different speed and music is helpful in this situation. Check out my Youtube channel to watch videos I filmed about Weber grills. There're 2 videos, but they're in Russian. :) I hope it won't be a big problem. :)

[ardoinjc]

Why would you as the first thing you do is burn the chicken ? See that black stuff all over the chicken after he "sears" it ? That is creosote. Not good ! Taste terrible. Flame should not be left to burn the chicken. Close the lid...the chicken will sear like it is baked. This is the 4th video I have seen where people do this. No need for it. Also, he put the coals on too soon. Wait till they are all ashed over in the chimney.

[eclipsez0r]

cooked some chicken exactly as in this video... amazing, some of the nicest chicken ive ever had in my life let alone cooked for myself :)

[gzies1]

@eclipsez0r There are many methods and techniques on how to cook chicken but you can't go wrong with this "easy version". I'm glad you liked it and I hope it inspired you to do other great things on your grill.

[casmoneansthefourth]

are you a yooper, eh?

[gzies1]

@casmoneansthefourth Nope, not quite. Nice try though.

[romeothewanted]

sooooooo yuuuuuumy, mouth watering & highly delicious :P

[romeothewanted]

this is highly delicious & mouth watering......sooooooo damn yuuuuumy !!! :P

[2024JayZ]

Why do you have the vents over the coals? The vents should be opposite the coals and just about closed with indirect cooking on a Weber & I don't see a need to sear meat that has skin on it

[PeterJansenWessel]

uuuuhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

it looks super nice!!!!!!

[mifan93]

mhmmmmmmmmmmmmm, looks tasty!!!!

[Thetruthishere11]

weber grills are overrated.

Why people buy them i will never know.

good video!

[nanobotism]

This might be a dumb question, but how often do you open the lid? I'm afraid of leaving it on too long and extinguishing the coals but I don't want to open it too often to let out the heat and smoke.

[gzies1]

@nanobotism I briefly open the lid after 15 min, 30 min and 45 min to turn the chicken. Chicken are done after 1 hour. Coal will not be extinguished as long as you leave the vents fully or partially open.

[younggunn1999]

What type of coals do you use?

[gzies1]

@younggunn1999 I'm using regular Kingsford coal. I prefer them over cheaper or no-name brands since they burn very consistently and reliably. I tried other charcoal, some of which burns too fast, too hot, unevenly etc. etc. I stay away from Kingsford Match Light because there is a chance that your meat will taste a little like lighter fluid, especially if your coal is not completely ashed over. They're also more expensive...I love the chimney method for lighting the coal, as shown in my video

[roselandalvin]

@gzies1 please try lump charcoal the briquettes are 95% filler!!-- I don't care what brand the briquettes are- No, really, give it a try- the lump - pure wood!!! burn hot so you can use less for directt cooking of steaks chops  burgers etc!

[younggunn1999]

Thanks for the advice. I didn't see your response until today but I pretty much did everything you suggested anyways prior to reading your comment. The meat came out great. I bbq some chicken legs, ribs, hamburgs and hot dogs. Maybe next week I will invite over some friends. That was my first time using a charcoal grill. Thanks again buddy.

[younggunn1999]

Your video inspired me to buy a weber charcoal grill today. I hope my meat comes out as good as yours.

[gzies1]

@younggunn1999 I hope so too. Give yourself some time and patience. Grill a few meals for yourself before showing off your new BBQ talent in front of your friends/family. Using a high-quality kettle grill such as the Weber is the first major step in producing mouth-watering BBQ. Please update on your progress, I'd love to hear from you. GOOD LUCK!

[Antiks72]

@gzies1 Weber is the best. Tons of accessories and they hold up well. I dusted off my old tiny weber i had in the weather for years, and it was good to go after a wirebrushing.

[gzies1]

@Antiks72 Yes indeed. I think a Weber grill can last a lifetime with minimal basic care. One of my Webers is 26 years old and still going strong. They're simply amazing. Made in USA !

[DullardGuy]

@Antiks72 I have a uniflame grill i got for 40.00 and can u believe that weber parts actually fit on it. WILL GET A WEBER when i can afford one...right now the uniflame kettle grill is doing an excellent job! TASTY TASTY

[umami739]

This is an amazing and simple way to cook grilled chicken. I have never cooked such juicy, smokey chicken on the grill. My husband has, but I haven't. I made my own "mopping" sauce but instead made it a little spicy...yum! The one time I wanted him to relax and wait for a meal fresh off the grill (that he didn't have to cook) and it was GREAT!! Thankyou for the video! I hope this video helps many others like it did me!

[gzies1]

@umami739 Thanks for your nice comment. I am pleased to hear that it worked out so well for you. Many people burn their chicken on the grill but that's almost impossible with the method shown in the vid.

[ashure36]

Nice vid.

[edpropst]

Cool

[lpvcrcd]

mopping sauce? How do you make it and what 's in it .. Thanks Great video!........ I see you really enjoy the Weber ... I do too!  They're foolproof and durable!!!

[MrDeerMeat]

I get so god damm tired of watching how to get the bbq ready e.g. how to lite the briquettes. Who gives a shit! Jumped up christ - half the fuckin video is gone and were finally getting the vulture on the grill! Is this a cookin video or a fuckin boy scout exercise? Thanks for nothing..........

[wilatemodel]

@MrDeerMeat I was thinking the same thing,......

[metalschooldrill]

Mine has old wooden handles. I had to JB weld a loose leg brace back back on to the body & put heavy Rustoleum on the other welds to make sure they never break. The only other choice is that crappy BBQ that is also sold at grocery stores, like as if it's a cheap price. So it's $40 less but will rust away 10X faster, the rack is too spaced out & leaks too much when you want to snuff out the coals after BBQn. U have to cough up $90 for the Weber. The other model should be $10 ie tough USA lessons

[gzies1]

@metalschooldrill I don't think that Weber can be beat when it comes to charcoal grills. It's a high-quality grill with international recognition. I have seen them sold all over Europe and even in some asian countries. Built to last and perform. Made in USA. You can save a few dollars by buying a knock-off but it's one of those savings that doesn't pay off in the long run. For the record, I do not work for the Weber company nor do I receive any compensation for promoting their products.

[Antiks72]

@gzies1 When I was at lowes I checked out the other bbq's and they were cheap. The webber is still built like a brick shit house to this day.

[roselandalvin]

@metalschooldrill you have a classic -- I use Honda chain lube for the joints- are there 2 handles total or 3?don't let that die -- The top handle and the leg joints are crucial - The side handle isn't important as you can move the unit by lifting - But the lid and the leg joints are invaluable!! But you knew that -- Keep that classic going!!!! The air flow in those Bar B Kettles [which you have] is supreme!They haven't made the Weber BAR B KETTLE style for 15-20 yearts!

[hilltopjack]

Really great video, I do mine almost exactly the same way.

[OS253]

Yeah it looks good. What brand of grill did you buy? Are there charcoal grills under $20?

Looooooooooooooooooooooooool xD

dont be to mean, heheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[gzies1]

The Weber company makes a small charcoal grill for about $25 to $30. It's called "Smokey Joe" and does an excellent job if you want to prepare a couple of chicken quarters, hamburgers, hot dogs, fish etc.

[jeffpickens]

@OS253: Weber makes a small grill called the Smokey Joe for under $30. It is shaped just like the Weber kettle but smaller.

[Chilax]

weber kettle and those go for like 80-100 dollars especially for the size he used.

[Angry0212]

Nice job, thanks.

[JustAddBBQ]

Cant go wrong with some good chicken nice tips

[CraigKramer]

i see you did about 1 hour for big pieces, how long would you cook wings, drumsticks and boneless breasts?

[gzies1]

there's not much meat on drumsticks or wings, so you would shorten your cooking time considerably after searing. 20-25 min should do just fine on low heat. With boneless breasts I would recommend for you to marinade those for several hours and cook them according to weight, maybe 40 min to avoid drying out.

[CraigKramer]

Great video! This is exactly what I needed. I wanted to learn how to make exactly this and voila.

Thanks a lot.

[techtuberguy]

hey. nice vid. I usually use direct medium heat. this looks like a much better way to go. so how long do you sear each side of that chicken before you move to indirect? and then from there I guess its about an hour total time you say? thanks for the info

[gzies1]

Thanks for your comment. When using direct medium heat the chicken will be a little dryer. I'm searing the chicken for about 2 min. each side to lock in the juices. This way your skin will also be a little more crispy. After searing, move to indirect heat. Using the waterpan will prevent the chicken from drying out.

[roger5845]

good video, enjoyed it.

[super69ninja]

grate use of direct and indirect grilling methods

[mlmartin12480]

You should put the vents on the opposite side of the smoke source. It doesn't make to much of a difference on a small grill. But it's just good habits. Other then that I'm hungry after watching that.

[Donvido]

After watching the video, I was going to suggest the same thing.

[gzies1]

right on, i'm glad to hear it worked out for you.

[superego666]

Awesome vid. thanks for posting. i gave it a try and it turned out great. loved the smoke flavor. thanx.
