About the Recipe

In Jamaican culture, grilling is more than just a cooking method; it’s a social event that brings people together. The aroma of marinated chicken sizzling on the grill is a familiar and comforting scent, reminiscent of beachside barbecues and festive backyard parties. Our recipe for BBQ Chicken captures this spirit, offering tender, juicy chicken with beautifully crispy skin, all coated in a tangy, flavorful BBQ sauce.

Serve this BBQ Chicken hot off the grill with your favourite side dishes, such as rice and peas, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad, and enjoy a hearty and wholesome meal.

Preparation

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt and black pepper.

  3. Spray the chicken with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  5. Flip the chicken over and brush the top with BBQ sauce.

  6. Grill for another 5-7 minutes.

  7. Flip the chicken over again and brush the other side with BBQ sauce.

  8. Continue to grill the chicken for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through and crispy on the outside.

  9. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

  10. Serve hot with additional BBQ sauce and your favorite side dishes.
