Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces work best for this recipe. They will stay moist and juicy during cooking.
Make sure your grill is clean and well-oiled: This will help prevent the chicken from sticking.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the chicken with flavor. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning. If you are using a gas grill, turn off the burners on one side of the grill. If you are using a charcoal grill, push the coals to one side of the grill.
Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Apple BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are grilling for a backyard party or just cooking a weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to please. So fire up the grill and give it a try!
