SO EASY BBQ CHICKEN

This also works with 3-4 chicken breasts, which take about 15-25 minutes to make, not including thickening time. We normally serve this with either mashed potatoes and veggies or macaroni and cheese and baked beans. This is MUCH easier than most BBQ chicken recipes, including Coke ones...and better. My family loves having this for dinner. You should see my brothers fighting for the last one!

1/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons orange marmalade

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor. If you're using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Make your own BBQ sauce: It's easy to make your own BBQ sauce, and it's much tastier than store-bought. You can find many recipes online, or you can experiment with your own ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it's cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. This will make the chicken more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

So Easy BBQ Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're grilling in the backyard or cooking in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
