Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken Breast or Chicken Cutlets
- 2 tbsp American BBQ Project's Mama's BBQ Rub
- 1 cup Your Favorite BBQ Sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Apply the Rub
Generously coat the chicken pieces with American BBQ Project's Mama's BBQ Rub. Make sure to cover all sides for maximum flavor. Allow the chicken to sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to infuse.
Step 2: Preheat the Grill
Whether you're using a charcoal or gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
Step 3: Grill the Chicken
Place the chicken on the grill grates and cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 4: Baste with BBQ Sauce
Baste with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for a sticky, flavorful glaze.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring a juicy bite every time. Serve hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
