Chicken and Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium heat. Place the marinated chicken on the grill or in a baking dish in the oven. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  2. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 4

    Mix with BBQ Sauce

    In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well combined. Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to your taste.
