Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2/3 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for serving
- 2 (8.0-ounce) large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Method
Prepare a grill for medium-high cooking or heat a grill pan over high heat.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic, salt and cayenne.
Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and split each horizontally with a sharp knife, forming 2 thinner cutlets.
Sprinkle cutlets and thighs all over with the spice mixture.
Place thighs on the grill; cook for 2 minutes, and then place breast cutlets on the grill.
Cook chicken, turning and flipping pieces several times, until just cooked through, about 8 minutes longer on the grill or 10 minutes longer on a grill pan.
Baste with barbecue sauce and cook on each side about 1 minute longer.
Serve with more barbecue sauce on the side.
