Spicy Crab Boil BBQ Chicken with Cajun Barbeque Sauce
- Level: Easy
- Total: 40 min
- Prep: 20 min
- Cook: 20 min
- Yield: 10 to 12 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
2 whole chickens, cut into pieces
1 cup spicy crab boil spice mix
Garlic powder
2 cups Cajun barbeque sauce
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- In a large stock pot, bring 1 gallon of water and 1/4 cup of the green onions to a boil. Add crab boil, mix and reduce heat to a slow boil or simmer. Add all chicken pieces and continue to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat and allow the chicken to soak for 5 to 15 minutes.
- Strain water. Place chicken on a large tray. Season with a light coating of garlic powder, to taste, and parsley and rub into meat.
- Place all chicken pieces on grill. Baste chicken with generous portions of sauce, repeat if necessary. Grill until the chicken skin is crispy.
- This dish is delicious if you have a taste for red pepper and something cold to drink nearby. However, if you are not a fan of peppery foods, I would not suggest this dish for your table.
Cook’s Note
The longer the soaking period, the spicier the chicken will be.
