Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and brush the cooked side with BBQ sauce. Cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, applying more BBQ sauce halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  3. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the grilled chicken and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
