Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients

  • 4 lb. of chicken of choice (legs, thighs, wings, breast with the skin on)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • Salt
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the grill — one side on high heat, one side on low.
  • Coat the chicken in olive oil and sprinkle with salt on all sides.
  • Sear both sides of the chicken on the hot side of the grill for 10-12 minutes.
  • Move chicken to the other side. If you are using a gas grill, turn to low heat. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Brush the meat with barbecue sauce on all sides and continue to cook until juices run clear.
  • Add remainder of barbecue sauce to serve.

Notes

  • If you do not have a grill, you can cook chicken in a skillet on medium-high heat until done and juices run clear.
