How to Make Finger Lickin Barbecued Chicken

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chicken to marinate and absorb the flavors.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)).
  5. If grilling, place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill. If baking, place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet.
  6. Grill the chicken for approximately 20-25 minutes per side, basting frequently with the remaining marinade. If baking, bake for 60-70 minutes, basting every 20 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from grill or oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your finger-lickin' good BBQ chicken!
