BBQ Chicken Ingredients

Method

BBQ Chicken Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the chicken halves under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken halves, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Grilling

    Place the chicken halves skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 15 minutes, then flip and brush generously with BBQ sauce. Continue grilling for another 15-20 minutes, brushing with more BBQ sauce until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with your choice of baked potato, chili beans, or potato salad, alongside a side salad and garlic bread.
