Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken wings, thighs or legs, or boneless thighs, and/or breasts
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups BBQ Sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • Grill, heated to 400°F
  • Instant-read thermometer
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat one side of the grill to high heat (400°F).
  • Season the chicken all over with salt. Place the chicken, skin side down, on the side of the grill with direct heat and cook until charred, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Brush the chicken evenly with half of the BBQ sauce and transfer to the other side of the grill to finish cooking over indirect heat.
  • Cover the grill and cook the chicken for 15-20 minutes, then turn and brush with the remaining BBQ sauce.
  • Cover the grill and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, about 15-30 minutes more.
