Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Rub the chicken pieces with olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar, ensuring all sides are coated.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken pieces on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C), about 25-30 minutes.

- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
