FAQ

Do you put BBQ sauce on chicken before grilling?

You want the chicken to slowly cook to perfection and then add the sauce during the final 10 to 15 minutes of cooking. Most grillers will apply the sauce first and then continue to baste the chicken with sauce while it cooks. This is a common practice, but it can lead to burning your chicken.

How long does it take to BBQ grill chicken?

How long should chicken breasts be grilled on each side? Grill chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side for a total grilling time of 9 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

How do you make BBQ chicken juicy?

Brining is simply immersing the chicken in a salt-water solution prior to grilling, which helps the chicken get great grill marks and prevents it from overcooking on the grill due to the increased surface moisture and sugars that brown quickly.
