With just a few simple ingredients, you can create juicy, tender chicken breasts that are sure to impress. This recipe combines the zesty kick of Yardbird Rub with the rich, smoky flavor of Frog Sauce BBQ sauce for an unbeatable taste.

Ingredients:

3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups Frog Sauce (BBQ sauce)

Yardbird Rub

Directions:

Prepare the Chicken:

Cut: Slice the chicken breasts into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

Season: Generously sprinkle Yardbird Rub on all sides of the chicken breasts for a bold, savory flavor.

Grill the Chicken:

Preheat: Set your grill to 350°F (175°C).

Cook: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Coat with BBQ Sauce:

Sauce: Remove the chicken from the grill and coat each piece with Frog Sauce BBQ sauce.

Caramelize: Return the chicken to the grill. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side, allowing the sauce to heat through and slightly caramelize.

Serve:

Rest: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices.

Enjoy: Serve and savor the juicy, BBQ-flavored goodness!

Serving Tips:

Resting Time: After grilling, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making the chicken more tender and juicy.

Garnish: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and added freshness.

Sides: Serve with classic BBQ sides like coleslaw, corn on the cob, or a fresh green salad. For a heartier meal, consider pairing it with baked beans or mashed potatoes.

Sauce: Offer extra Frog Sauce BBQ sauce on the side for those who like their chicken extra saucy.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 3-4 days.

Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the cooked chicken. Place it in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Reheating: To reheat, thaw the chicken in the refrigerator if frozen. Reheat in the oven or on the grill to maintain its texture. For best results, reheat at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the chicken rubbery.

Prepping Ahead: You can prepare the chicken breasts and season them with Yardbird Rub a day in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to grill.

FAQs:

Can I use a different BBQ sauce for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute Frog Sauce BBQ sauce with your favorite BBQ sauce. The flavor profile may vary depending on the sauce you choose, but the overall result will still be delicious. Just ensure the sauce is thick enough to coat the chicken and caramelize well on the grill.

What can I do if I don’t have Yardbird Rub?

If you don’t have Yardbird Rub, you can make a simple seasoning mix with ingredients you likely have on hand. Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a touch of brown sugar for a similar flavor profile. Adjust the quantities to taste.

Can I bake the chicken instead of grilling it?

Yes, you can bake the chicken if you don’t have access to a grill. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Add the BBQ sauce in the last 5 minutes of baking to allow it to caramelize.

How can I tell when the chicken is cooked through?

To ensure your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). Additionally, the juices should run clear, not pink, when the chicken is cut. This ensures it is fully cooked and safe to eat.

Conclusion:

This 3-Ingredient BBQ Chicken Breast recipe is ideal for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. The combination of Yardbird Rub and Frog Sauce BBQ sauce ensures a flavor-packed meal with minimal effort. Whether you’re grilling outdoors or using an indoor grill, this recipe promises juicy, delectable chicken every time. Try it out and make your next meal a breeze!
