Notes
We use roughly ½ c of sauce for 1 ½ lbs of chicken.
When grilling your chicken, cook until it is very firm, or use a thermometer to be sure it has reached 160F. Bone-in chicken cooks slower than a boneless breast, so be extra careful to cook it through. Flip once while cooking, and after the chicken is mostly cooked, then base your chicken with the BBQ sauce, flipping once to coat and warm the sauce on both sides.
