barbecue chicken

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken Pieces (Bone-in, Skin-on)
• 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce (Your Favorite)
• 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
• Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F / 175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated.
4. Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 30-40 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is nicely charred.
5. During the last 10 minutes of grilling, baste the chicken with any remaining BBQ sauce to create a sticky, flavorful coating.

Notes

• For best results, use a charcoal grill with wood chips (hickory or applewood) for a more authentic smoky flavor.
• If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until cooked through.
• To prevent the chicken from drying out, you can wrap it in foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
