Grilled BBQ Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of your favorite 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 1 cup of BBQ sauce, 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.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the sauce into the chicken to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and discard the marinade in the bag. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), basting with the remaining BBQ sauce mixture during the last few minutes of grilling.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the grilled BBQ chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Grilled BBQ Chicken has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century when American pitmasters in the Southern United States began experimenting with grilling chicken and slathering it with tangy, smoky barbecue sauce. This iconic dish quickly gained popularity at backyard cookouts, family gatherings, and local BBQ joints. Renowned chefs like Bobby Flay and Aaron Franklin have put their own spin on this classic, elevating it to new heights. The best versions of this dish can be found in the BBQ meccas of Memphis, Tennessee, and Kansas City, Missouri, where pitmasters expertly balance the sweet and savory flavors of the sauce. The key to perfecting this dish lies in marinating the chicken in a flavorful spice rub and basting it with a homemade BBQ sauce while grilling to achieve that irresistible charred and caramelized exterior. Whether it's cooked over charcoal, wood, or gas, Grilled BBQ Chicken remains a beloved staple of American cuisine.
