Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board (leave several inches between them and work in batches as needed). Cover with plastic wrap to keep things tidy, and with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or your fist, pound the chicken to an even thickness. It doesn't need to be ultra thin-just make sure the middle is fairly even with the ends (the chicken should be about 1/2-inch thick).
- With a fork, poke holes all over the chicken (this will allow the marinade to absorb).
- In a large ziptop bag, combine the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken.
- Seal the bag to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade. Place in a pan or bowl to catch any drips. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate it to marinate for up to 12 hours (5 to 6 hours is ideal). Even 15 minutes is better than nothing!
- When ready to grill, preheat the grill to high (475 degrees F). If your chicken has been in the refrigerator, remove it and allow it to come to room temperature for at least 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grates.
- Place the chicken on the grill presentation (smooth) side down, shaking off any excess marinade. Cover the grill and let cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, then flip. The chicken should lift easily off the grill; if it sticks, allow it to cook another minute or two.
- Recover the grill and cook for an additional 4 to 8 minutes. Chicken is considered done at 165 degrees F. I like to remove chicken from the grill around the 155-160 degree F mark and allow it to finish cooking while resting. DO NOT OVERCOOK, or your chicken will be dry.
- Place the chicken on a plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes (resting is mandatory!). Add any desired toppings or sauces. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor the meat.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grates.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: If you're using a gas grill, turn off the burners on one side of the grill and cook the chicken over the unlit side. If you're using a charcoal grill, push the coals to one side of the grill and cook the chicken over the indirect heat.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to tell if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
- Make sure you have a good glaze: The glaze is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure you choose one that you like. There are many different recipes for barbecue glaze, so you can find one that suits your taste.
Conclusion:
Grilled chicken breast with barbecue glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken is cooked perfectly and that the glaze is flavorful and delicious.
