Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce

    During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the bourbon BBQ sauce over the chicken to caramelize it slightly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your choice of two sides.
