  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

    1 dl ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 ½ tbsp brown sugar, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Trim the chicken breasts of any tendons or excess fat. Place them in a bowl. Pour the olive oil over them and toss well to coat.

  • Sprinkle the barbecue seasoning over the chicken breasts and toss again to distribute the seasoning.
    - This step can also be done a day in advance to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
    1 dl barbecue seasoning
  • Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill over direct heat and cook for about 4 minutes on each side over direct heat.
  • Once the chicken breasts are grilled on both sides, brush them with the barbecue sauce and move them to indirect heat. Let them cook for approximately 5 minutes.
    - Chicken breasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 70℃ to be done. Use a thermometer to check the temperature. The cooking time also depends on the size of the chicken breasts, so it's a good idea to check the temperature.
  • Once the desired internal temperature is reached and the barbecue sauce has caramelized slightly, the chicken breasts are done. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
