Juicy BBQ Chicken Breasts on the Grill

Nothing beats a perfectly grilled BBQ chicken breast—tender, juicy, and bursting with smoky, tangy flavors. This simple recipe ensures flavorful chicken every time, whether you use your favorite rub and sauce or try our recommended picks!

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp BBQ rub of choice (or use Chicken Shit Seasoning for bold flavor!)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce of choice (or use BBQ Shit Sauce for a rich, smoky kick!)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub it in evenly.
  3. Season both sides with your BBQ rub of choice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Let the chicken rest for at least 20 minutes to absorb flavors (or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Preheat the Grill

  1. Heat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
  2. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Grill the Chicken

  1. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side with the lid closed.
  2. Flip once grill marks appear and juices rise to the surface.

Step 4: Baste with BBQ Sauce

  1. During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush BBQ sauce of choice over the chicken.
  2. Flip and baste again, letting the sauce caramelize slightly without burning.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

  1. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
