How to Make Bbq D Gin Gar Chicken

  1. Preheat your grill or oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, oregano, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
  4. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better, up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
  5. If grilling, place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. If baking, place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. During the last 10-15 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  8. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
