 Barbecue Grilled Chicken Breasts


Barbecue grilled chicken breasts are a classic dish that's perfect for summertime grilling or any occasion. Here's a simple and delicious recipe to make barbecue grilled chicken breasts:


Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)
  • Optional: chopped fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or cilantro)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Grill:

    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
  2. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
    • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Prep the Grill Grates:

    • Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Chicken:

    • Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
    • Grill for about 6-7 minutes on the first side, without moving them, until grill marks form and the chicken easily releases from the grates.
  5. Flip and Glaze:

    • Flip the chicken breasts over using tongs.
    • Brush the cooked side of the chicken breasts with BBQ sauce.
    • Grill for another 6-7 minutes on the second side.
  6. Glaze Again:

    • Brush the top side of the chicken breasts with more BBQ sauce.
    • Continue grilling for another 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Check for Doneness:

    • To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Rest and Serve:

    • Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board.
    • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
    • Serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips:

  • Marinade: For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken breasts in BBQ sauce for 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.
  • Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches the correct internal temperature.
  • Glaze Variation: Experiment with different types of BBQ sauce (sweet, spicy, smoky) to find your favorite flavor combination.
  • Sides: Serve with your favorite BBQ sides like coleslaw, corn on the cob, potato salad, or grilled vegetables.

Enjoy your delicious barbecue grilled chicken breasts!
