A flavorful and smoky BBQ chicken recipe that is perfect for gatherings or a family dinner.
Combine all the spice rub ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture generously over the chicken pieces.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
In a saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.
Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken on the grill, skin side up, and cook for 30 minutes.
Cook over indirect heat for even cooking.
Baste the chicken with the prepared BBQ sauce and continue grilling for another 20 minutes.
Basting adds a glossy finish and enhances the flavor.
Serve the chicken hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and freshness.
