    This was my first time brinning a chicken. I had heard mixed reviews regarding the texture afterwards. However, my family and I absolutely LOVED the tenderness and flavor of the chicken. It was bit too spicy for my 7 year old son, but just right for everyone else.

    I love that the brine made this chicken very, very moist after it was cooked. I altered the brine by using ued 4 cups of chicken stock and 4 cups of water. The overall flavor of the seasoning mix was an interesting take on BBQ but it needed less than half of the amount of cayenne and the cumin seasonings than what is called for in this recipe. It was unexpectedly very spicy, which, if you like spicy, is fine but the recipe title infers a BBQ flavor though and the cayenne and cumin overwhelmed. I added a bit if nutmeg and more brown sugar to try and even it out to no avail. I would make this recipe again using the brine technique but use my own seasoning mixture.

    This is one of my go-to chicken recipes. It is really really good and actually pretty easy to make. When I discovered this recipe, only the broiler coils in my electric oven worked, so I tweeked the cooking directions to make this recipe work for me. #1 I used leg quarters(6 or 7, instead of a roaster chicken #2 I broiled it in a broiler pan set on low and I based it with the drippings every 10 minutes or so. After the first 10 or 15 minutes, put the skin side down...keep basting ever 20 mins. For the last 5-7 mins or so, turn the chicken skin side up. You just have to be careful not to burn the skin. This method only takes about 45 minutes, so you save yourself half the time.

    The fam loved it so I will definitely make this again. I brined it overnight and I think that made the chicken so soft and juicy. This is an amazing recipe! At first when I saw it needed 1/2 cup of salt for the brine i thought that was too much but once i added the 1/2 cup of sugar it was perfectly balanced.

    The chicken was good but the drippings burned. I think it was the sugar that burned and then the butter separated. Seasoning was good.

    Sunny, these recipes were absolutely delicious. Unlike some of the comments posted, I had no trouble following or reading the recipe. Reading through an entire recipe before I buy the ingredients & begin to cook, always seems to help. Seeing the show gave me a general idea of what needed to be done. I used 2 boneless skinless chicken breast instead of an entire chicken. We don't eat all the parts of the chicken. The rub went on perfectly by adding the butter to it at room temp. with a plastic spoon. It turned out moist, flavorful, & cooked to perfection in the time specified. The lemon & walnut waffles will be my new obsession for the next few days b/c I have leftover batter. They are absolutely delicious! The cumin or the thyme in the chicken tastes so good with the lemon in the waffles. I have been to Roscoe's chicken & waffles in ATL but I never ordered this in particular. I want to thank you for a delicious dinner! I will make this again & share this recipe!

    Love it!!! It tastes even better the next day. My family thought it was the best. I agree with the previous posts about the directions. I almost missed the brown sugar. I read in the comments where some did so I knew to double check the recipe.
