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:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- For a smoky flavor, cook the chicken over indirect heat on your grill.
- Baste the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce every few minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
