extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup Jimmy’s Sauce or Heinz classic BBQ sauce

3. Place chicken on the hot grill, cover, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook for 4-5 minutes more.
4. Baste with BBQ sauce, flip, cook 2 minutes. Repeat on the other side.
5. Cook until internal temp is 160°F. Let rest under foil for 5 minutes.
6. For oven: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place chicken on foil-lined sheet, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper.

Letting the chicken rest is essential for juicy results.
