Take note
Make sure to exercise caution when grilling, and always follow proper safety procedures to prevent accidents. Keep a close eye on the chicken as it cooks to avoid overcooking or undercooking.

1

Prep and marinate the chicken

Start by gathering all your ingredients: 4 chicken breasts, 1 cup of your favorite barbeque sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. In a bowl, combine the barbeque sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for maximum flavor).

2

Preheat and prepare the grill

Before you start grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will ensure that your chicken cooks evenly and gets those beautiful grill marks. While the grill is preheating, remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Now you're ready to get grilling!

3

Grill the chicken to perfection

Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and close the lid. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remember to flip the chicken only once. Avoid constantly opening the lid to check on the chicken, as this can prolong the cooking time. The closed lid will help create that smoky goodness we're aiming for.

4

Let it rest and serve

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and tender chicken. Serve the smoky barbeque chicken with your favorite sides and dig in!
