Recipe- Let's Get Started!!

1. Prepare the Chicken

   • If using chicken breasts, you may want to pound them slightly to even thickness for more even cooking.
   • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Marinate the Chicken

   • Place the chicken pieces in a mixing bowl and coat them evenly with barbecue sauce. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or longer for more flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). If using charcoal, ensure the coals are evenly spread and have burned down to a medium-hot temperature.

4. Grill the Chicken

   • If desired, brush the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
   • Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill, skin-side down if using skin-on chicken.
   • Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side for thighs or 8-10 minutes per side for breasts, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
   • During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken generously with more barbecue sauce, flipping once or twice to create a sticky, caramelized coating

5. Rest and Serve

   • Once the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred exterior, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
   • Tent the chicken loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
   • Serve the barbecue chicken hot, garnished with additional barbecue sauce if desired.

Add-On Tips

• You can use your favorite store-bought barbecue sauce or try making your own by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and spices to taste.
• For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of smoked paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder to the chicken before grilling.
• Serve the barbecue chicken with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, cornbread, or grilled vegetables, for a complete meal.
