Bea’s BBQ Chicken

“This is a recipe I put together a while back and have been making ever since. My husband says this is my best chicken recipe :)”

Ingredients

  •  2 pounds mixed chicken pieces (bone-in skin-on, 1 pound each “bone in” “skin on” chicken pieces, thighs with leg attached or breasts)
  •  1/3 cup barbecue sauce sauce
  •  4 cloves garlic (processed through garlic press)
  •  1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  •  1/4 cup brown sugar
  •  1/4 cup oil (vegetable oil)
  •  2 teaspoons paprika (smoked paprika)
  •  1 teaspoon dried thyme
  •  1 teaspoon dried oregano
  •  1/2 teaspoon salt

Step 1

Place the garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, paprika, thyme, oregano and salt in a large re-sealable plastic bag and mix well.

Step 2

Add the chicken pieces and swish together to coat the chicken well.

Step 3

Seal the bag taking out as much of the air as possible and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours, turning every hour.

Step 4

Pour the contents of the bag in a microwaveable casserole dish and microwave on high for 15 minutes, turning over the chicken every 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from marinade and discard marinade.

Step 6

Place the chicken pieces over direct heat of a preheated grill and brush generously with BBQ sauce and cook for a few minutes, turn over and brush with more BBQ sauce and cook for a few more minutes.

Step 7

Brush the remainder of the sauce over the chicken pieces and move to indirect heat and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the sauce has baked on to the chicken.

Step 8

Enjoy!
