Grilled BBQ Chicken Breasts
Description
This grilled BBQ chicken breasts recipe gets zesty flavor from a marinade made with avocado oil, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and onion.
Ingredients
•
1/4 cup avocado oil
•
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
•
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
1 teaspoon paprika
•
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
•
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Directions
1
Whisk oil, barbecue sauce, vinegar, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until marinade is well combined.
2
Place chicken breasts in a large glass or ceramic bowl (or a resealable plastic bag). Pour ⅔ marinade over breasts; toss to evenly coat. Reserve remaining ⅓ marinade to brush on breasts while grilling. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or squeeze out excess air and seal the bag); marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
4
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade.
5
Cook on the preheated grill, brushing chicken with reserved marinade and flipping halfway through, until no longer pink in centers and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
