How you make BBQ grilled chicken, is a very thoughtful process in terms of a variety of seasoning techniques, good marinating, and the actual grilling technique. Then there is the end product, that mouthwatering and juicy chicken, which would tickle your taste buds. To guide you on making this great dish, here's a detailed guide on the process required to create that delicious mouth-watering BBQ grilled chicken for all:

 

Ingredients:

 

  1. Chicken: Choose cuts like chicken breasts, thighs, wings, or drumsticks.

  2. Marinade:

    • Olive oil

    • Freshly squeezed lemon juice or vinegar

    • Minced garlic

    • Soy sauce

    • Honey or brown sugar

    • Smoked paprika

    • Ground black pepper

    • Salt

  3. BBQ Sauce: Your favorite store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce.

  4. Optional Spices and Herbs:

    • Onion powder

    • Cumin

    • Chili powder

    • Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary

Steps to Prepare:

 

1. Clean and Prep the Chicken:

  • Rinse the chicken pieces in cold water and dab the meat on a paper towel.

  • You will now trim any excess fat or skin if required.

2. Begin by preparing the marinade:

  • In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice or vinegar, garlic minced, soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.

  • Stew the mixture till it blends well.

3. Marinate the Chicken:

  • Place the pieces of chicken in a big re-sealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

  • Pour the marinade over the chicken carefully, so that every piece is well coated and covered.

  • Gather together the bag and seal it or cover your dish; refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for best flavor penetration.

4. Preheat the Grill:

  • Preheat your grill on medium-high heat to about 350 to 400°F or 175 to 200°C.

  • If using a charcoal grill, light the coals and wait until they are covered with a white ash before cooking.

5. Grill the Chicken:

  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.

  • Place the chicken on a preheated grill at the correct temperature.

  • Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side for breasts or thighs, and 10-12 minutes per side for drumsticks or wings.

  • Use a meat thermometer to determine if it is done. The inside should be at least 165°F (74°C) for safe eating.

6. Apply the BBQ Sauce:

  • Brush BBQ sauce over the top of the chicken during the last few moments of grilling. Use enough to ensure each side is well coated.

  • Let it all grill until the sauce caramelizes very beautifully and becomes a little crispy.

7. Rest and Serve:

  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes so that the juices will stay inside.

  • Serve it hot, and on the side, provide some additional BBQ sauce for those who want to experience an added flavor.

Tips for Perfect BBQ Grilled Chicken:

 

  • Do not rush the marinating process: The marinating process should take adequate time to allow the flavors to penetrate into the chicken so that it can taste well.

  • Control the Heat: Never burn, keep it always from high heat. Medium-high heat is just enough for uniform cooking.

  • Avoid overcrowding on the grill: Make sure there is enough space between each piece of chicken so that it can cook evenly.

  • Glazing with Sauce: Use BBQ sauce as a glaze towards the end, so that it does not burn and evaporate.

 

Enjoy this luscious treat with your barbecue grilled chicken, any side dish of choice, creamy coleslaw, brightly colored grilled vegetables, or comforting cornbread. Bon appétit!
