Ingredients
Vegetable oil or cooking spray
4
boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 lb) or bone-in skinless ( 2 lb) chicken breasts
Purchased barbecue or teriyaki sauce, if desired
Preparation
Prepare the coals or a gas grill for direct heat. Heat to medium heat, which will take about 40 minutes for charcoal or about 10 minutes for a gas grill.
Cut and discard fat from chicken with kitchen scissors or knife.
Carefully brush vegetable oil over the grill rack, or spray it with cooking spray. Place the chicken on the grill rack over medium heat. Cover the grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning chicken over once with tongs about halfway through cooking. Brush chicken with the barbecue or teriyaki sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Cook until juice of chicken is clear when you cut into the center of the thickest part and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 170°F.
