Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to 450°F (230°C).
  • Tenderize: Place chicken breasts in a heavy-duty baggie. Flatten to ½-¾ inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Season: Rub each chicken breast with olive oil. Then, generously rub with sea salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Let chicken sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
  • Grill: Place seasoned chicken breasts on the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes per side, until they easily release from the grates.
  • Baste: After the first flip, brush each breast with BBQ sauce.
  • Finish cooking for an additional 2 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
