# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the grill to high direct heat, approximately 230°C. Clean the cooking grates with a grill brush to ensure a non-stick surface.
02 -
Lightly drizzle chicken breasts with extra virgin olive oil and rub to coat evenly. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03 -
Place chicken breasts on the hot grill grates. Cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the chicken releases easily from the grill.
04 -
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Baste generously with barbecue sauce, then flip and cook for 2 minutes on each side, repeating to build layers of flavor.
05 -
Cook until chicken is firm and opaque with an internal temperature of 71°C. Remove from the grill, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
06 -
Plate the chicken breasts and serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C for safe consumption. Adjust barbecue sauce quantity according to taste preference.
