The combination of BBQ sauce and a rich garlic butter coating creates a tantalizing balance of flavors that will have everyone coming back for more.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup BBQ sauce
160g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
16g
2/3 tsp garlic powder
2.05g
2 chicken breasts
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the garlic powder to the melted butter and stir well to combine.
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and continue stirring for another minute.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
3. BBQ Sauce Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce and the garlic butter mixture until well combined. Set aside half of the mixture to use as a dipping sauce or to drizzle over the cooked chicken.
4. Grill the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Brush the chicken with the BBQ garlic butter sauce on both sides.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through. Continue to brush with the sauce occasionally during grilling.
5. Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the grilled chicken breasts with the reserved BBQ garlic butter sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.

Tips:

- Preheat your grill or oven before cooking to ensure an even temperature, which helps in getting the perfect texture for your chicken breasts.

- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked and safe to eat.

- Marinate the chicken in the BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat more deeply.

- Let the cooked chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and keeps the meat tender.

- If you prefer a bit of char on your chicken, finish it off on high heat for a minute or two on each side.

BBQ chicken breasts with garlic butter sauce is a simple yet flavorful recipe that can easily become a staple in your cooking repertoire. Whether you're grilling outdoors or using an oven, following these tips and steps will ensure your chicken turns out juicy and delicious every time. Enjoy this mouth-watering dish with your favorite sides and savor the rich, savory taste that it brings to your table.
