Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. If using a marinade, brush the chicken generously with barbecue sauce or your preferred marinade, ensuring all sides are coated.
  3. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ðF (74ðC).
  4. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with additional barbecue sauce to create a caramelized glaze.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or served alongside your favorite side dishes.
