BBQ Chicken is a classic favorite! 

The lip-smacking goodness of charred skin and juicy meat is a perfect summer dish for the entire family. 

If you want to know how to make barbecue chicken the right way, then get your grill gloves ready because we’ll give you a step-by-step guide!
 
First, you need to salt and oil the chicken pieces. 

Thigh, leg and wing parts are great choices for the barbecue. 

Keep the skin on as it protects the meat from being dry.
 
Set aside the chicken and prepare the grill by making sure it’s clean and pre-heated. 

If you’re using a charcoal grill, make sure you protect your hands with heat resistant grill gloves before lighting up and transferring the hot charcoal into the grill. 
 
Place the charcoal on one side of the grill, leaving one side empty.
 
Now put the grill grates in position and oil the grate. 

Get the chicken pieces and place them skin side down over the charcoal to get a good sear. 

Sear for around five to ten minutes until the skin gets a nice color.
 
Next, move the chicken pieces to the far side of the grill away from the charcoal. 

This is called indirect cooking on low heat. 

If you’re using a gas grill…start on medium high for 5 to 10 minutes to sear and put gas on low after searing.

After 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, flip the chicken and baste it with bbq sauce. 

Cook again for another 15 minutes. 

Repeat this process one to two more times until the chicken is cooked. Cooking time depends on how large or small your chicken cuts are. 

Don’t rush to ensure that the insides are cooked. 

You can use a meat thermometer to test doneness. 

Chicken breast cooks at 160 degrees Fahrenheit while every other chicken part should be at 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
 
When the chicken is cooked and the juices run clear, it means that your chicken is ready for a searing finish.
 
Transfer the chicken again over the charcoal side of the grill for around five more minutes, and baste it with bbq sauce to give it a charred look.
 
One great tip for your chicken not to burn or overcook is to regularly flip and baste the chicken over low heat. 

But always be careful when doing this because prolonged exposure to heat can actually hurt or burn your hands. 

In order to protect the skin of your hands from painful burns, get yourself grill gloves that can handle high heat like the Grill Heat Aid Extreme Heat Resistant Grill Gloves.
