Salt and pepper the chicken generously or apply a dry rub, and place on the counter to bring to room temperature for 30 minutes to one hour before grilling.

Grilling times for each cut of chicken at a temperature of 350 degrees are as follows: bone-in chicken breast: 30-40 minutes depending on size, and boneless chicken breast takes 12-16 minutes, pounded to even thickness for more even cooking; chicken thighs: boneless chicken thighs take 12-15 minutes and bone-in take 20-25 minutes; chicken legs: 30-40 minutes; chicken wings: 10-15 minutes.
- Step 3
Brush the chicken with the bbq sauce during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking time.
- Step 4
Chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the breast is 165 degrees, or thickest part of leg or thigh without touching the bone and registers 170 degrees.

Remove chicken from heat and let rest covered loosely with foil for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
