BEST EVER BBQ CHICKEN
The BBQ sauce on this juicy grilled chicken is out-of-this world! We "wow" people with this recipe every summer during outdoor entertaining. I always double the sauce recipe to have extra on the side for dipping. The original recipe calls for 2 small boiler chickens quartered but we prefer using bone-in, skin on chicken breasts. Slow cooking on the grill gives it the best flavor. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do - it's a favorite at this house.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade: The key to juicy, flavorful BBQ chicken is to use a marinade that's packed with flavor. Be sure to use a variety of spices and herbs, and don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Grill your chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out and will give it a more even cook.
- Baste your chicken regularly: basting the chicken with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter and spices will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let your chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
