Fire up your grill to a toasty 450°F. Pop those 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a sturdy plastic, then give them a gentle pounding with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they’re nice and flat, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over each chicken breast, making sure to cover every nook and cranny. Sprinkle 1/ teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika all over, giving it a nice rub. Let the chicken hang out until it reaches room temperature.
Pop each chicken breast into the hot grill, preheated to a toasty 450°F, and let them cook for 6 minutes on each side. You’ll know they’re to flip when they slide around easily and don’t cling to the grates.
After the first flip, give each chicken breast a generous brush with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce. Let them cook for another 2 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches internal temperature of 155-160°F.
Take those delicious chicken breasts off the grill and let them relax under a cozy blanket of aluminum foil for about 5 minutes. As they rest, the heat will work its magic, bringing them to that safe and perfect 165°F. Enjoy!
Get ready for your grilled BBQ chicken to be the talk of the party with its tender and juicy perfection!
