Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, bone-in and skin-on
• 1 cup hickory BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

4. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with additional BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
