Barbecue Sauce For Chicken On The Grill Recipe

Transform your grilled chicken from dry and burnt to juicy and flavorful with this incredible barbecue sauce! This recipe solves the age-old problem of perfectly cooking chicken on the grill, even for beginners. We start by pre-baking the chicken to ensure it's cooked through, preventing that dreaded burnt-on-the-outside, raw-on-the-inside disaster. Then, we slather it with our amazing BBQ sauce throughout the grilling process. This recipe is perfect for both grilling over coals (even if you're not a BBQ pro!) and oven baking. The sauce itself is easy to make, using pantry staples, and lasts almost forever in the fridge – making it a must-have for your next cookout!
