Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of dark and light meat chicken. Dark meat is more flavorful, while light meat is leaner and cooks more quickly.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • When grilling the chicken, cook it over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Be sure to brush the chicken with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the chicken over a charcoal grill. If you don't have a charcoal grill, you can use a gas grill with a smoker box.
  • Serve the chicken sandwiches on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, and onion rings.
