Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  3. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving it.
  4. Flip the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165ðF.
  5. While the chicken cooks, warm your barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
  6. Brush a generous layer of warm barbecue sauce onto the chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  7. Flip the chicken once more and brush the other side with sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
  8. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice the chicken against the grain and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
