Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 1 cup Homemade BBQ sauce Use store-bought or homemade.
  • to taste Salt Adjust according to preference.
  • to taste Pepper Adjust according to preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For brushing the grill grates.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken thighs or drumsticks with salt and pepper.
  3. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. Brush the homemade BBQ sauce on the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling.
  3. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve BBQ chicken hot off the grill with sides like coleslaw, corn on the cob, or a green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage. Letting the chicken rest after grilling keeps it juicy.
