Ingredients

  • cup barbecue sauce 
  • teaspoon barbecue smoke seasoning (such as Hickory Liquid Smoke)
  • teaspoons pepper black freshly ground
  • teaspoons brown sugar 
  • teaspoon garlic powder 
  • teaspoons hungarian paprika sweet
  • teaspoons kosher salt 
  • tablespoons olive oil unsalted extra-virgin melted
  • 24 ounce chicken breasts boneless skinless

Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk
  • baking pan
  • grill
  • kitchen thermometer
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. To make rub, place first 5 ingredients in a bowl and combine with your fingers, breaking up lumps in sugar. (You'll need 1 1/2-2 tablespoons rub for this recipe. The excess can be stored in a sealed jar for several weeks.)
  2. Sprinkle rub over chicken on both sides, rubbing into the meat with your fingers. Arrange chicken in a baking dish. Cover with foil, and refrigerate 20 minutes.
  3. To make basting mixture, combine oil and smoke seasoning in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
  4. Spread the coals in an even layer to make a single-zone fire. (On a gas grill, you'd simply light the appropriate burner.) Preheat to high. Clean and oil grate.
  5. Arrange chicken diagonal to bars of grate, and grill 4-6 minutes total per side or until browned and thoroughly heated; begin basting chicken after first 2 minutes of cooking, and baste several times. (If you're feeling ambitious, rotate each breast a quarter-turn after the first 2 minutes to create hatch marks.) Insert an instant-read meat thermometer into thick end of breast through the side--the temperature should be about 16
  6. Transfer chicken to a platter or plates; serve with barbecue sauce.
