Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Grilled BBQ Chicken
  1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the prepared marinade over them, ensuring they're well coated. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat about 15 minutes before grilling.
  4. Remove from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade and let the excess drip off.
  5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
  6. Add Extra Sauce: In the final 2-3 minutes of grilling, brush a generous layer of additional barbecue sauce over the chicken.
  7. Rest Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken into strips or serve whole, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired.
