Description
There’s nothing better than a juicy bone-in, skin-on chicken breast. The bones add extra flavor and tenderness to this homemade classic. I recommend serving this main course with your favorite side dishes – it pairs well with almost anything from fresh salads to decadent macaroni and cheese!

Scale
- 1 whole chicken cut into pieces (3–4 pounds)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375 to 400°F).
- Take the chicken pieces and coat them with olive oil.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken pieces.
- Place chicken on the grill grates – ensure it’s placed with the skin side down.
- Grill the chicken like this for 15 minutes.
- Flip the chicken on the other side and baste it with barbecue sauce.
- Cook the chicken for another 20 to 30 minutes, brushing the meat with barbecue sauce occasionally.
- You should cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part of the breast. At this point, the thighs should read around 175°F.
- After it reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and rest it for 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve together with your favorite side dish!
