Citrus BBQ Grilled Chicken - a new favorite! Chicken marinated in orange juice, lime juice, garlic, and chicken bouillon and finished off with BBQ sauce. YUM! This only takes a minute to whip up and tastes AMAZING! It is so tender and juicy and packed FULL of great flavors. Give this a try the next time you fire up the grill. I promise you this is the BEST!
Whisk together orange juice, minced garlic, lime juice, and chicken bouillon. Pour over chicken and refrigerate a few hours to overnight.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook on the grill until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF. A few minutes before taking the chicken off the grill, brush both sides with BBQ sauce.
Notes:
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure the chicken is evenly cooked. We put the chicken in a ziplock bag and use a meat mallet to gently pound out the thicker hump. This eliminates the thinner part of the breast drying out while you are trying to get the thicker end cooked.
My favorite store-bought BBQ sauces are Sweet Baby Rays, Stubbs, G.Hughes, and Williamson Brothers.
Can use the marinade on any cut of chicken – breasts, tenders, thighs, wings, or legs.
Can use bone-in or boneless chicken. Adjust cooking time to ensure an internal temperature of 165ºF.
To cook chicken without a grill, pan-sear the breasts for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
