Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken pieces Bone-in for juiciness.
Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Helps to keep the chicken moist.
  • 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar Provides acidity.
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic powder For savory kick.
  • 1 tablespoon Onion powder Enhances flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika Adds smoky flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar substitute For sweetness without carbs.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Adds heat and depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard powder Adds tangy depth.

Equipment

  • 1 Grill Preheat to medium-high heat.
  • 1 Large zip-top bag For marinating the chicken.
  • 1 Mixing bowl For preparing the marinade.

Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect the following: chicken pieces, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Marinate the Chicken
  1. Place the chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and massage it gently. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
Step 4: Preheat the Grill
  1. Fire up your grill and preheat it to medium-high heat. This will ensure a nice sear on your chicken.
Step 5: Grill the Chicken
  1. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place it on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 6: Baste with Extra Marinade
  1. If you have leftover marinade, brush it on the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling for an extra flavor boost.
Step 7: Let It Rest
  1. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep it juicy!
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Slice the chicken, serve it up with your favorite sides, and enjoy the epic flavors of your Delmarva BBQ chicken!
