Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for seasoning and color (about 1 teaspoon)

For the White BBQ Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the White BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and set aside to allow the flavors to meld while preparing the chicken.
  2. Season the Chicken Breasts: Pat the 4 chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, and about 1 teaspoon paprika for added color and flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 204°C), ensuring a hot surface for even cooking and grill marks.
  4. Grill the Chicken Breasts: Place the chicken breasts directly on the grill grates and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the chicken to retain its juices.
  5. Brush with White BBQ Sauce: During the last few minutes of grilling, generously brush the white BBQ sauce on both sides of the chicken. Grill for an additional 1 to 2 minutes per side to let the sauce slightly caramelize without burning.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve warm with extra white BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness and avoid overcooking.
  • Marinate the chicken in some white BBQ sauce for 30 minutes for enhanced flavor and tenderness.
  • Maintain medium heat to prevent charring and ensure even cooking.
  • Rest chicken after grilling to lock in moisture and improve tenderness.
  • Brush sauce on the chicken only during the final minutes to prevent burning.
