Garlic Celery Rub Barbequed Chicken Breasts

This was a good change of pace from normal boneless chicken breasts.  Basting the chicken in melted butter was very good.

Ingredients:
Rub:
2 tablespoons celery salt
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper 

Chicken:
6 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Your favorite barbeque sauce

Apple chips for smoking

Make the rub: combine celery salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl; stir to mix (using you fingers works well).

Trim any excess fat off the chicken breasts and discard.  Rinse breasts under cold running water, then drain and blot dry with paper towels.

Place them in a baking dish; sprinkle with rub all over the chicken breasts on both sides, patting it onto the meat with your fingertips; let the breasts cure in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Set up grill for direct grilling at 300-350

Place apple wood chips on the charcoal

Cook the chicken breasts until done 30 to 40 minutes

Lightly baste the chicken breasts with the melted butter as they cook, but don’t start until each breast has cooked for 10 minutes on each side.

Transfer the grilled chicken breasts to a platter and drizzle any remaining melted butter over them.

Serve with barbecue sauce on the side.
