Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down, and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and nicely charred.
Flip the chicken and brush BBQ sauce generously over the skin side. Continue grilling for another 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
At the same time, grill the corn on the cob for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until slightly charred and cooked through.
Remove the chicken and corn from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish the BBQ Grilled Chicken with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve alongside the grilled corn on the cob and lime wedges for an optional tangy twist.

Notes

For extra BBQ flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the BBQ sauce for an hour or two before grilling. Keep a close eye on the chicken while grilling to prevent burning. The high sugar content in BBQ sauce can cause the chicken to char quickly. To cook the corn faster, you can partially precook it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes before grilling. Pair this delicious dish with a refreshing side salad, coleslaw, or some grilled veggies to complete your outdoor BBQ experience. Enjoy!
