Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces are best for barbecue, as they will stay moist and flavorful. If you are using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, be sure to marinate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: The key to delicious barbecue chicken is a flavorful marinade. There are many different recipes for barbecue marinades, but some common ingredients include olive oil, vinegar, herbs, spices, and brown sugar. Choose a marinade that you think your family will enjoy.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you are using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and cook the chicken on the other side. If you are using a gas grill, turn off one burner and cook the chicken over the unlit burner.
  • Baste the chicken frequently: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Use a basting brush to apply the marinade to the chicken every few minutes.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature of the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Barbecue chicken is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you are cooking it on a charcoal grill, a gas grill, or in the oven, barbecue chicken is sure to be a hit. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
