Notes
Tip: The size of your chicken will really determine your cooking time. For a smaller chicken breast, you would need less cooking time.
Tip: At this time you can place your chicken back on the grill for 2-3 more minutes or serve right away. You don't want to let chicken with BBQ sauce cook too long since bbq sauce is heavily sugar based and will burn quickly.
What temperature to grill:
Preheat at high and then reduce to medium/low for cooking. Cooking low means a juicy chicken breast. This could take an hour or longer for large breast or 30 minutes for a small chicken breast. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken is at a safe temperature before serving.
Can I use frozen chicken breast?
For this recipe, I would suggest using fresh or thawed chicken. Using frozen can change your cooking time and cause uneven cooking through your chicken.
