chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: turkey breasts

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while thighs are often less expensive.

Dried herbs provide flavor without the cost of fresh.

lemon juice

Fire up the Kamado Joe grill with charcoal and fire starters, setting it to 180°C.

Melt butter in a Scotsburg pan on the barbecue.

Brush melted butter on the cold chicken fillet.

Sprinkle Pitmaster X Tweety barbecue rub on the chicken fillet.

Insert a thermometer into the chicken fillet.

Place the chicken fillet on the grill, aiming for a core temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Prepare the Tweety barbecue sauce by mixing 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup chili sauce, 2 tablespoons rum, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the barbecue rub in a pan. Let it simmer until done.

Brush barbecue sauce on the chicken fillet when it's almost done cooking.

For the second experiment, prepare a brine with 500 ml water and 3 tablespoons of the barbecue rub. Mix and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 6-8 hours or overnight.

Remove chicken from brine, let water drip off, and brush with butter. Sprinkle more barbecue rub on the chicken.

Insert a thermometer and place the chicken on the grill at 180°C, flipping occasionally and brushing with butter.

For the third experiment, brine the chicken as before, then season with butter and barbecue rub. Insert a thermometer and place on the grill.

Set the Kamado Joe to smoke at 120°C, adding Cherrywood chips for flavor.

Place the chicken breast on the grill and let it smoke, checking the thermometer for doneness.

Brush barbecue sauce on the chicken after smoking and let it warm for 10 seconds to combine flavors.

Cut into each chicken breast to check juiciness and tenderness.
