Tips and Tricks
Marinade for Extra Flavor
For a deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate in the barbecue sauce for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help the chicken absorb the sauce and give it a more intense taste.
Cooking Temperature
Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before cooking. This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and achieves those beautiful grill marks.
Resting Time
After grilling, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender.
