Barbecued Chicken

Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Allow it to heat for 5-10 minutes until the grates are hot.

Spray both sides of the chicken breasts generously with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote browning.

Place the chicken breasts directly on the grill grates, spacing them apart to allow heat circulation. Close the lid if using a covered grill.

Grill for 12-14 minutes on the first side until the surface is lightly charred and the chicken releases easily from the grates.

Flip the chicken breasts carefully using tongs. Grill for another 10-12 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part.

Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
