Braised BBQ Chicken

This was so simple but so good!

Five chicken leg quarters cut into pieces, seasoned with some Smokin' Guns 'Sweet Heat'. Then put on to catch some Hickory smoke.


After 30 minutes of smoke, they were placed into a Dutch Oven and smothered in some homemade BBQ sauce. Bumped the pit temp to 365° to braise for a while.


Pulled when they reached about 175°. The fat rendered out very nicely.


YUM! Having braised in the sauce, they were still very moist. The skin was unbelievably tender doing it this way.


Some of the simplest yet best BBQ chicken I've ever eaten. Definitely a keeper!

Thanks for sneaking a peek!

It was great. Nice and smoky, tangy & sweet with just a hint of heat at the end. I was sopping up the sauce & juices with bread!

Just added to my to do list. That is one long list. Way too much good looking stuff in here. I think I have put on a few pounds just from looking around on here.

Great idea !
This is on the "to do" list !

Nice! Judging by the color I'm assuming lid off?

Yep! Lid off while in the dutch oven to soak up a little more of that hickory smoke.
