Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1 cup BBQ sauce your favorite
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for grilling
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor).
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through, with nice grill marks.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the spicy BBQ chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as corn on the cob, coleslaw, or potato salad.
- Enjoy!
