A Mouthwatering Recipe for Grilled BBQ Chicken

Looking for a delicious recipe for barbecue chicken? Here's a simple and tasty BBQ chicken recipe for you:

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

  • Rinse the chicken thighs and drumsticks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl.

Marinate the Chicken:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  • Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken pieces, making sure to coat them thoroughly.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for more flavour.

Preheat the Grill:

  • Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.

 

Grill the Chicken: 

  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill, skin side down, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is nicely browned and has grill marks.
  • Flip the chicken pieces and brush the skin side with barbecue sauce. Cook for another 5-7 minutes.

Baste and Finish:

  • Continue to flip and baste the chicken with barbecue sauce every 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

  •  

    This process usually takes about 25-30 minutes, depending on your grill and the size of the chicken pieces.

Serve:

  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the barbecue chicken with your favourite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or grilled vegetables.

Enjoy your delicious barbecue chicken!
