Follow The Directions

01

Step

Submerge the wood chips in warm water and allow them to soak for 2 to 3 hours, ensuring maximum smoke release. (Soaking time: 120-180 minutes)

02

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Preparation time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

In a saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, beer, vinegar, and red wine until smooth. Stir in the diced onion, bell pepper, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and allow the sauce to thicken slightly, approximately 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (Cooking time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Evenly spread the soaked wood chips across the bottom of a broiler pan, adding enough water to maintain moisture throughout the cooking process. Place the broiler pan grate over the wood chips, and arrange the chicken pieces on top. Generously coat each piece with the prepared barbeque sauce. (Preparation time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake for approximately 1 hour, basting the chicken with the sauce every 15-20 minutes to develop a rich, lacquered finish. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Cooking time: 60 minutes)

06

Step

While the chicken bakes, simmer any remaining sauce in a separate small saucepan over medium-low heat until slightly reduced and intensified in flavor. This will serve as a delectable dipping sauce. (Cooking time: 15 minutes)

For a deeper smoke flavor, consider using a combination of wood chips, such as mesquite and applewood.
Adjust the amount of chili pepper to your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper or a minced jalapeño can add a delightful kick.
If you don't have a broiler pan, you can use a baking sheet lined with foil, and place a wire rack on top to elevate the chicken above the wood chips.
Ensure the wood chips remain moist throughout cooking by adding small amounts of water to the pan as needed.
Serve with your favorite barbeque sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, and baked beans.
