Chiavetta's Chicken Recipe: Perfect BBQ Chicken At Home
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (you can also use drumsticks or breasts)
- 1 cup Chiavetta’s Chicken Marinade
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil optional, for grilling
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate The Chicken
- Take the chicken thighs and put them in a shallow dish or big ziplock bag.
- Pour the Chiavetta’s Chicken Marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. Trust me, the longer, the tastier!
Step 2: Preheat Your Grill
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F). If you’re using a charcoal grill, aim for an even layer of hot coals.
- To keep the grill grates from sticking, lightly oil them.
Step 3: Grill The Chicken
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 20 minutes.
- When the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, turn it over and continue cooking it for another 10 to 20 minutes.
- Tip: Use a meat thermometer for accurate results.
Step 4: Rest And Serve
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy that juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled chicken!
