BBQ Chicken

This recipe is a wonderful recipe to have during the spring and summer.  Since we live in Seattle nice weekends are rare and we took advantage of one recently to make this BBQ chicken.  This is a easy recipe that does not require a lot of prep or cook time.  We use a charcoal grill but a gas or propane grill works just as well.


Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts (bone-in with skin)
1 bottle of BBQ sauce (check the label to ensure it is gluten-free)

1.  Light the grill (I put this step first so it is nice and hot when you are ready for it and so you don't forget like I have done)
2.  In a large pot parboil the chicken (basically boil the chicken until it is cooked through which takes about 15-20 minutes)
3.  Remove chicken from the water and pat dry
4.  Using a basting brush cover the chicken with the sauce on all sides
5.  Place skin side down on the grill away from the direct flame for only a few minutes (don't burn!)
6.  Turn over and smother with sauce again sauce again
7.  Leave on the the grill until the skin is crispy but not burned

I love to serve this dish with mashed potatoes and a fresh veggie.
