Garlic and Herb Marinaded Chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Posted on by

Weber has a line of marinade mixes that you add juice to that are really, really good. And they’re perfect for flavoring chicken before cooking it on the Char-Broil Big Easy. I picked up a package of each and used them to marinate my favorite, split chicken breasts. The garlic and herb marinade is mixed with lemon juice to produce wonderfully seasoned chicken. A hint of garlic, a hint of lemon, and a mix of earthy herbs.
Garlic and Herb Marinaded Chicken on the Char-Broil Big EasySince the Big Easy cooks at a high temperature you do have to watch that your chicken doesn’t char. One way to help prevent that is to not use marinades containing substances that might burn, like sugar or honey. The other is to rinse the chicken before cooking. Now, you’re going to lose a bit of flavor doing that, but if like me you’re going to remove the skin before eating, it really doesn’t make that big of a difference.

Weber makes all sorts of great flavored Just Add Juice marinades. I’ve also made chicken marinaded in their fantastic citrus herb marinade.

Garlic and Herb Marinaded Chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: I prefer to rinse the marinade off the outside of the chicken since it will tend to burn. The meat has already absorbed the flavors of the marinade.

Roasted Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Green Pepper Mayonnaise

Mmmmm. Yummy. Tender, juicy roasted chicken breast meat, roasted green bell pepper mayonnaise and fresh, crispy toppings. All in all, a great sandwich. This roasted chicken sandwich with roasted green pepper mayonnaise is out-of-this-world good. For me the star of the show is the roasted green pepper mayonnaise. It adds a nice kick to the sandwich. I think it needed a kick. I love roasted chicken, don’t get me wrong, but I need some spice. Some flavor. Something extra. This sandwich has that something extra.

Roasted Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Green Pepper MayonnaiseI used chicken that I roasted on my Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer, but you can substitute rotisserie chicken or whatever chicken you have on hand. Store-bought rotisserie chicken is also great for making a roasted chicken sandwich with roasted green pepper mayonnaise

Also try my grilled chicken fajita sandwiches.

Roasted Chicken Salad Sandwich

This is my favorite chicken salad sandwich recipe. I love the tender, roasted chicken countered with the crunch of onion and celery, along with the smooth mayonnaise. It is the perfect chicken salad sandwich made only better with fresh toppings.

Roasted Chicken Salad SandwichI roasted the chicken on our Big Easy fryer. Nothing could be easier. A simple marinade, then an hour in the cooker, and you end up with perfectly moist and tender chicken. You can actually skip the marinade and just season the chicken and roast. It seriously could not be any easier.

For something a bit spicier, use some of my spicy roasted chicken when making these sandwiches .

Roasted Chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy

I’m a huge fan of my Char-Broil Big Easy. I was pessimistic when I bought it (I’m more a Weber-brand grill guy), but I have really loved using the Big Easy from Char-Broil. Heck, I have 3 Big Easys now and I’d be happy with more! It does a fantastic job on whole turkeys and chickens, wings, and yes, split chicken breasts like these. I was unable to resist temptation and had to pull of a piece of that delicious, crunchy chicken skin! Roasted chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy is a wonderful thing!

Roasted Chicken on the Char-Broil Big EasyUsing the Big Easy is… well, easy. I marinade the chicken, fire up the fryer, put the chicken in, and a little over an hour later I have perfectly cooked roasted chicken. No fussing with fryer temperatures, or checking the meat temperature every 15 minutes, just walk away (ok, you shouldn’t leave a lit grill unattended) and come back later.

Roasted Chicken on the Big Easy

Prep Time3 hrs 10 mins
Cook Time1 hr 20 mins
Total Time4 hrs 30 mins
Course: Main
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4
Author: Mike

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon more or less dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon more or less dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 split chicken breasts skin on or off

Instructions

  • Combine all but the chicken breasts. Taste the marinade and add more dill or rosemary if you wish.
  • Rub the marinade all over the chicken. If you left the skin on, try to slide your fingers in between the skin and meat and smear the marinade into the resulting pocket.
  • Let the breasts marinade in a large resealable container or baggie for at least 3 hours.
  • Fire up the Big Easy fryer. You'll need a bunk bed basket to fit all 4 breasts in at once.
  • Place 2 breasts in the bottom Big Easy basket and two in the top basket.
  • Let cook at least an hour (with the top on the Big Easy so the chicken gets good and brown and the skin crisps up nice) before checking the meat temperature, which you want to get to 165 F.
  • Remove the breasts and let rest until slightly cooled, then slice.

Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup

One of the main reasons I roasted a chicken on my Big Easy the other day was to make this roasted chicken noodle soup. It sounded fantastic, and it came out fantastic. You could also make this with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving!Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup

You can substitute a rotisserie chicken from the store if you like, but roasting one yourself, either on the grill or in the oven, produces even tastier results. Because of the noodles, this soup tends to thicken up overnight. You’ll need to add a bit of water (or chicken broth) when reheating it. Anita likes hers very thick, almost like a stew.

Also try my roasted tomato soup.

Four-Pepper Chicken Fried Rice

I’ve been subscribing to Chile Pepper magazine for quite some time now. Though I certainly don’t consider myself to be a Chilehead, I do like some heat in my dishes, like this four-pepper chicken fried rice. A lot of people are afraid of using peppers or hot sauces in their dishes, but I’ve found that if you experiment with them you can get a better tasting dish, and one that doesn’t burn off the roof of your mouth.Four-Pepper Chicken Fried Rice

I found this recipe for four-pepper chicken fried rice in the November 2009 issue of the magazine. It came out absolutely fantastic. You can use whatever peppers you have really. I had some roasted chicken left from a cookout on my Big Easy, which worked just great in this meal. I’d make this again in a heartbeat.

Also try my grilled Kung Pao chicken with egg-fried rice.
