- 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to create a marinade.

- Serve the BBQ grilled chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
BBQ grilled chicken has a rich history dating back to the indigenous tribes of the Americas who cooked meat over open flames. The dish gained popularity in the southern United States, where it became a staple at backyard gatherings and cookouts. Renowned chefs like Bobby Flay and Aaron Franklin have put their own spin on this classic dish, incorporating unique marinades and sauces. The key to perfect BBQ grilled chicken lies in the marinade, which often includes a blend of spices, vinegar, and oil to infuse the meat with flavor. Today, some of the best versions of this dish can be found in BBQ joints across the southern US, where pitmasters use traditional smoking techniques to achieve mouthwatering, tender chicken. Whether it's served with a side of coleslaw or cornbread, BBQ grilled chicken continues to be a beloved favorite at summer barbecues and family gatherings.
