Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.
Don’t be fooled by the lightly charred chicken exterior. Inside this Cajun marinated chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy is fantastically moist, tender, flavor-packed chicken. Just like you always get when you cook chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy. Ready in less than an hour it’s perfect sliced. Perfect cubed over salads. Perfect picked up and devoured.
Load Up And Get To Cookin’
I used the regular ole basket that comes with the Big Easy when I made this Cajun marinated chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy. You can fit 4 decent-sized chicken breasts in the basket, but you might have to stand them on end. That’s fine. Just don’t let them touch too much or they won’t cook evenly.
The marinade is just a tad bit spicy, but even the most heat-fearing folk will like it. For something a bit more mellow, give my Big Easy Montreal chicken a try.
