Grilled BBQ Chicken Breasts
For juicy, sauced, & seasoned grilled bbq chicken breasts, this summer easy recipe is the best. The crispy crust & tender meat is ready in 30 minutes. Only 3 ingredients for a sweet, spicy, & bold cookout chicken recipe.
Equipment
- Gas, Propane, or Charcoal Grill
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (typically 2-3 breasts)
- Kinder's Buttery Poultry Blend (or your favorite dry rub)
- Kinder's BBQ Sauce (or your favorite bbq sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 350°. Turn on one side or add coals to one side of the grill, you will want to have both indirect and direct cooking for this recipe.
- Once the grill is hot and preheated to 350°, put the chicken on the grates. Place each seasoned piece of chicken over direct heat.
- Let the chicken cook for 4 minutes on each side. Leave the grill lid off or open. They are ready to flip when they no longer stick to the grill & release easily. Grill marks will be noticeable & dark in color.
- Once the chicken has seared on both sides, move the chicken breasts to the other side of the grill. You want to finish these over indirect heat with the lid closed or on. This lets the chicken cook throughout with even heat. DO NOT add the BBQ sauce at this time - if you do this too early it will burn.
- Using an instant-read thermometer check for when the chicken reaches 160°. Now baste all sides with the BBQ sauce.
- Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°, they are done. Use tongs and place the chicken on a plate or cutting board. Let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before cutting into them. This allows the meat to stay juicy & tender. If you cut into it too early, the juices run out instead of being redistributed into the meat as it cools.
- To serve, slice with a sharp chef's knife. Place on individual plates or a platter & serve with additional bbq sauce on the side if desired.
- Store leftovers in teh refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
