BBQ chicken on the Grill for a Small Party or Weekly Meal Prep

Learning to make a proper bbq chicken is an essential tool in anyone’s repertoire. At some point, you will have friends over, need to invite your in-laws or potential in-laws, cook for your own growing family or try to impress with a backyard bbq.

Once you have mastered the other basic, Green seasoning, life and cooking tasks become easier. So check that out first if you haven’t.

In this recipe, chicken leg and thighs are marinated overnight in a blend of green seasoning, salt, black pepper, all purpose and adobo. The last two are optional but good when you need a variation.

After marination, the longer the better, you will need to bring the chicken to room temperature, to allow for even cooking on the grill.

The grill is heated and the chicken is placed n and cooked until the meat is fully cooked and takes on a lovely grilled color. In most cases, color equals flavor, so don’t miss out due to impatience.

Now that you know how to make bbq chicken, you will need some side dishes to go with that. You can consider appetizers including pholourie, accra, cheese paste sandwiches, wontons, wings, bang bang shrimp, and for the main side dishes, here are a few family favorites:: cornbread, potato salad, macaroni salad, fried rice, lo mein, a chunky veggie stir fry for the health conscious. Find all these recipes on my blog. EASY LINKS ALSO ON RECIPE POST ON BLOG BELOW.
