This recipe offers a flavorful and juicy grilled chicken marinated in a unique Coke-based brine, perfect for any barbecue or family dinner.
Combine the Coke and kosher salt in a large bowl, stirring until the salt dissolves.
Ensure the salt is fully dissolved to evenly season the chicken.
Puncture the chicken breasts with a fork to allow the brine to penetrate.
Piercing the chicken helps the brine infuse deeper into the meat.
Submerge the chicken in the brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, mustard powder, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Combine the spices thoroughly to ensure an even rub.
Remove the chicken from the brine, pat dry, and rub with the spice mixture.
Drying the chicken helps the rub adhere better.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and set up for indirect cooking.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken over indirect heat for 15-20 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
