Ingredients
  • Bone-In Skin-Off Chicken Breasts
  • BBQ Rub
  • Homemade BBQ Sauce
  • HomeRight ElectroLight
  • Charcoal Grill
  • Charcoal
  • BBQ Tongs
  • Silicone Pastry Brush
  • Meat Thermometer
Instructions
  1. You will begin by prepping your chicken.  I bought bone-in chicken and decided to remove the skin from the chicken before cooking it.  My family doesn't eat the skin and I didn't want the yummy flavors to go into the skin that wouldn't get eaten, so I removed that before doing anything else.
  2. Then I lightly patted my favorite sweet, spicy and smokey BBQ Rub onto all of the chicken breasts.  
  3. I placed a large pile of charcoal in my grill and used my HomeRight ElectroLight to start the coals.  It is amazing how fast this is.  I don't like the flavor that comes along with using lighter fluid or easy light charcoals, but regular coals can take a while to get started even when using a chimney.  But when I use my ElectroLight, it just takes a few minutes and even the biggest pile of coals is ready to use quickly!  
  4. Once the coals are ready, I place my seasoned chicken breasts on the grill directly over the coals.
  5. Let them sear for a few minutes on both sides.
  6. Then move your chicken breasts off to the side.

  7. Place a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a chicken breast without touching the bone. 

  8. Put the lid on the grill, and let them cook until they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  9. A few minutes before they reach the proper temperature, use a Silicone Pastry Brush to cover the chicken breasts in homemade BBQ Sauce.  

  10. Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and allow them to sit for 5 minutes before cutting or serving so that the juices can reabsorb back into the meat.  This will ensure you have perfectly juicy, tender chicken every time!
