Rub with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and herbs if using.
Preheat the grill
Heat grill to medium-high (about 375–400°F / 190–200°C). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken
Place chicken on the grill.
Cook 4–6 minutes per side for boneless breasts or 6–8 minutes per side for bone-in pieces.
Check internal temperature: it should reach 165°F (74°C).
Rest the chicken
Remove chicken from grill and let rest 5 minutes to lock in juices.
Serve
Serve whole or sliced with grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.
🌟 Tips
Marinade option: Marinate chicken 1–2 hours in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for extra flavor.
Crispy exterior: Sear over direct heat first, then move to indirect heat to finish cooking.
Check doneness: Use a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked, juicy chicken.
Ashley, I can also give you a honey-garlic glaze version that you brush on the chicken while grilling for a sweet-savory finish. Do you want me to share that?
