How To Make spicy smokey bbq chicken

  • 1
    How to make it: Remove skin from chicken or breasts if not already; and place in a large ziplock bag. Combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl and pour and rub over chicken. Let chicken marinade for at least an hour, up to 24 in the fridge.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F or prepare a grill (brush the grill grate lightly with oil).
  • 3
    In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the chicken. Reserve 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce; set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the bowl, turning to coat. Arrange the coated chicken in a roasting pan or on the grill. Cook (covered, if grilling) for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the reserved 1/3 cup sauce after 20 minutes.
