McCormick’s Big and Bold Monterey Style Seasoning has become a favorite seasoning of ours. It’s a mix of coarsely ground garlic, red bell pepper, roasted garlic, red pepper, and contains tumeric and annatto for adding a yellow color to foods. We find that the yellow color adds a pleasing and appealing look to chicken. So today we’re going to share our recipe for making a barbecued whole chicken seasoned with McCormick’s Monterey Style Seasoning along with a little bit of chili powder.<\/p>\n

Monterey Seasoned Chicken Recipe<\/strong>
\na 4 pound whole chicken
\n2 tbsp McCormick Monterey Style Seasoning
\n1 tsp chili powder
\n1 tbsp sugar
\n2 tbsp vinegar
\n1\/2 cup water<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash the chicken under cold water and set on a plate to allow excess water to drain off.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Place the Monterey Style Seasoning and Chili Powder in a cup. Add sugar, water and vinegar. Stir to mix well.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Put the whole chicken in a one gallon size freezer zip-loc storage bag.\n<\/li>\n
  4. Dump the seasonings over top of the chicken, seal the bag, and flip over a few times to distribute the seasonings. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and marinate for about 2 hours turning over every 1\/2 hour so the seasonings evenly infuse the chicken.\n<\/li>\n
  5. Since this is a whole chicken, it needs to be cooked indirectly so it cooks slowly and completely. So place the charcoal on only one side of the grill. Light grill.\n<\/li>\n
  6. Remove the chicken from the zip-loc bag, and place into a disposable heavy-duty aluminum pan that has the bottom lined with non-stick aluminum foil. We use the disposable pans because the smoke from cooking will permanently mark a real roasting pan.\n<\/li>\n
  7. When the grill is ready, place the chicken on the side away from the heat, cover and cook for 1 to 1 1\/2 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken is about 170° F. For proper food safety, it’s very important that a meat thermometer is used to make sure the chicken it cooked thoroughly to prevent illness from under cooked chicken.\n<\/li>\n
  8. Let the cooked chicken sit for 10 minutes before carving or else you’ll find you have shredded chicken (instead of sliced chicken).\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
