Recipe View Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

For a spicier kick, add a dash of Cajun seasoning to the chicken breasts before grilling.
If you don't have a grill, you can also bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled corn on the cob, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.
Feel free to experiment with different flavors of barbecue sauce to customize the recipe to your liking.

    I accidentally overcooked the chicken a little, but it was still pretty good. Next time, I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on it.

    Great recipe for a quick weeknight meal. I added some garlic powder and paprika to the chicken for extra flavor.
