Ingredients:
- 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup Italian dressing
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Directions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce and Italian dressing. Stir well to create a smooth and even marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large sealable bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken, making it juicy and flavorful.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Discard any leftover marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and has a nice char on the outside.
- Serve:
- Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices and ensures the chicken remains tender.
