Preheat it to about 450°F then brush down the grates to ensure your grill is clean.
Rub the olive oil into the chicken breasts and season liberally with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Place the chicken on the grill. Cover and grill for 5 minutes, flip, then cook for another 5. Brush the chicken breasts with barbecue sauce for 2 minutes, then repeat on the other side. Using your instant-read thermometer, check to see if the internal temperature is 160°F, then remove from the heat.
Plate the chicken and cover it, allowing it to rest for 5 minutes. This will ensure it stays moist and juicy. Serve with a little extra barbecue sauce.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Rub the olive oil into the chicken breasts and season liberally with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil then bake the chicken for 15 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and brush the chicken breasts with barbecue sauce. Bake for another 5-8 minutes, depending on your oven. The chicken should begin to char. Using your instant-read thermometer, check to see if the internal temperature is 160°F, then remove the tray from the oven.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes so the internal temperature can rise to 165°F. Serve with a little extra barbecue sauce.
