Tank Cooks BBQ Chicken & Homemade Chips from Brian Baumgartner's Book "Seriously Good Barbecue"

Coming Tomorrow #FrankWalks with Brian Baumgartner

I took two recipes from his new book "Seriously Good Barbecue."

Mom's BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:
Bone-in Chicken Thighs
1 Cup of Barbecue Sauce
Zest of Lemon
2 tablespoons of parsley

Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 425°F.

2. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, accent, and other seasonings.

3. Coast Thighs with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce

4. Place Thighs on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes.

5. After 25 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for another 20 minutes, drizzling excess barbecue sauce on the Thighs.

6. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce on the thighs and broil for five minutes, placing it closest to the broil coil. This will allow the sauce to caramelize.

7. Finish Thighs with Lemon Zest and Parsley.

Homemade Chips
Ingredients:
3-4 potatoes washed and unpeeled
Seasoning of choice
Oil for Cooking

Directions:
1. Slice Potatoes thinly and soak in an ice-water bath for 20-30 minutes.

2. Drain potatoes and pat them completely dry.

3. Heat oil to 375°F. Make sure that the oil is hot before adding potatoes. This keeps the potatoes from soaking up the oil.

4. Cook in the oil until golden brown.

5. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat the potatoes dry with paper towels to remove excess oil.

6. Season while warm. I used a Barbecue Dry Rub seasoning and salt.
