Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 1 cup homemade BBQ sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, readying it for that perfect sear.
- Season the chicken thighs or drumsticks generously with salt and pepper, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
- Brush the chicken with olive oil, giving it a lovely sheen that will enhance that irresistible grilled goodness.
- Place the chicken on the grill, cooking for 25-30 minutes. Turn occasionally to achieve a gorgeous golden-brown exterior.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with your homemade BBQ sauce, allowing it to caramelize beautifully.
- Once cooked through and juices run clear, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving, letting all those flavors mingle.
Notes
For a flavor boost, marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce for a few hours or overnight. Switch chicken thighs for skinless breasts if preferred, but note they may cook faster.
