This grilled BBQ chicken is simple to make tender chicken coated in sweet barbecue flavor that comes through in every bite! You will be making this weekly after you see what a huge hit it is!
In a medium sauce pan stir together ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, salt and liquid smoke.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cover with a lid. Let cook stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens about 10-15 minutes.
Marinate Chicken:
Place chicken in a ziplock or airtight container. Pour homemade BBQ sauce over top of the chicken and seal or close the container for at least one hour.
Leave 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce reserve for basting the chicken as it is grilling.
Grill BBQ Chicken:
Preheat grill to medium heat. Place the marinated bbq chicken in the center of the grill. Grill in homemade BBQ sauce for 12 to 15 minutes.
Flip the chicken over and finish grilling on the other side until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
*Use the 1/2 cup of reserve bbq sauce for basting on the chicken as it is cooking.
