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. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a meal that is both satisfying and impressive.
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
