Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for best results.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on one side.

  3. 5

    Flip the Chicken

    Flip the chicken breasts and continue grilling for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This helps the juices redistribute for a more flavorful chicken.
