Best Grilled Chicken Recipe

STONED BBQ CHICKEN

4 chicken breasts (thighs, wings or legs)

Rub the chicken with olive oil and heat the grill to medium.  Lightly oil the grates and grill chicken turning every 3-5 minutes until almost done.  During the last two turnings of the chicken, top with the barbecue sauce and then remove from the heat.  Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Apricot Barbecue Sauce 


1/2 cup apricot preserves
3/4 cup your favorite bbq sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey is delicious)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 TBS vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste), optional


Heat and mix together in a small saucepan for a few minutes and remove.


Recipe Notes

  • Use peach preserves or mixture of both apricot and peach preserves for your own personal “Stoned (fruit) BBQ Chicken” recipe
  • Double recipe for covering the chicken and dipping (I usually do anyway)
