Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat Grill: Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Baste Chicken: During the last few minutes of grilling, use a basting brush to apply additional barbecue sauce to the chicken breasts for extra flavor.
Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the chicken stays moist.
