Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and your preferred dry rub.
  3. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down if using thighs, and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving to get a good char.
  4. Flip the chicken carefully and cook for another 5-7 minutes, depending on thickness.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and brush the chicken generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.
  6. Continue grilling for 2-3 more minutes, basting occasionally with more sauce until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
  7. Check that the internal temperature reaches 75ðC (165ðF) for safe consumption.
  8. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
