Sunnys Classic Bbq Chicken Recipes

SUNNY'S BBQ BUFFALO CHICKEN ON TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• For the toast: In a large pan on medium heat, add the butter and garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the toast, soaking up a bit of the butter on one side, then flipping it to the other side to soak up the rest. Toast on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden toasty color, then flip and toast the other side as well. Remove the toast to a plate.
• For the sauce: In the same pan, add the butter, onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the ketchup, brown sugar, chicken stock, beer, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, chile flakes and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the sugar is completely dissolved, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the chicken to the sauce and stir to coat and re-heat. Spoon over the toast and serve.

SUNNY'S 5-STAR GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the marinade/glaze: In a small pot on medium heat, whisk together the honey, miso, orange juice, a shake or two of chili flakes and plenty of coarse ground pepper. Cook, whisking, until everything is combined and the liquid reduces and thickens a bit to a glaze consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• For the chicken: Pour half of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag; reserve the other half for glazing. Add the chicken parts to the bag with the marinade and seal. Rest the chicken at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat a grill pan or half of a grill to medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry with paper towels. Place on the indirect heat of the grill, skin-side down, and cook, covered, until the chicken easily releases from the grill, about 15 minutes. Then flip and grill on the other side until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more. In the last minute of grilling, brush each piece of chicken with a bit of the reserved glaze.

SUNNY'S STORE-BOUGHT PIZZA BBQ CHICKEN "PIZZAZ"

Steps:

• Top the pizza with the BBQ sauce, then add the chicken. Top with the onion slices and cheese. Bake according to the instructions on the pizza box, adding an extra minute or 2 if needed.

SUNNY'S EASY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a pot over medium heat add the olive oil, onions, jalapenos and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent and tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme, and oregano, then stir well and cook until fragrant. Add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and vinegar. Raise the heat to medium- high and simmer, while rapidly stirring, until everything is blended and smooth. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the chopped chicken. Stir to coat all the chicken, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, roll out the dough according to package directions and fit it onto a rectangular nonstick baking sheet. Put the crust in the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven and leaving a 1-inch border pour the BBQ chicken and sauce evenly over the crust. Top with the cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella, in that order. Put the topped pizza in the oven and bake until the mozzarella cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown, anywhere from 6 to 11 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven to a cutting board and allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
