]]>Select high-quality chicken pieces for grilling, such as bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks. These cuts retain moisture and flavor, resulting in juicy and tender barbecue chicken.
Marinating the chicken infuses it with flavor and tenderizes the meat. Opt for a marinade that complements barbecue chicken, such as a blend of tangy barbecue sauce, garlic, spices, and a touch of sweetness. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least a few hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and ensure it’s clean and properly oiled to prevent sticking. For an added smoky flavor, consider using hardwood charcoal or adding wood chips to a gas grill.
Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook over indirect heat. Grill with the lid closed, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. Baste the chicken with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for a sticky and flavorful glaze.
