Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill to a surface temperature of 425°-450°. That is medium to medium-high on most grills. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Pat dry chicken. Trim loose fat and rib section.
• Cut the split chicken breasts into 2-3 equal pieces each.
• A light brushing with oil, and you're good to go.
• Place the chicken pieces skin side up and grill for 5 minutes. Flip over with skin down for 4 minutes. Continue cycles of 5 minutes when skin is up and 4 minutes when skin is down. You can also grill some with the cut sides down.If you only have two burners, turn one burner down at about 10-15 minutes into the cooking. If you have 3 or more burners, turn one end burner down at the beginning of cooking.
• With smaller pieces and pieces browning too fast, move them to the lower temperature area as needed.When the chicken is near done, brush with BBQ sauce about 5 minutes before the end of cooking and then again the last few minutes. Grill until internal temp of 165°. The total cooking time is about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• For the Marinade: Combine all of the Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl, and whisk together until well mixed. Place Marinade in a large re-sealable plastic bag. (If necessary, split the marinade and chicken into two bags.) Add the split chicken breasts and squeeze any air out of the bag. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. For the BBQ Basting Sauce: Combine all of the BBQ Basting Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until well mixed; set aside. For the Chicken: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Place the split chicken breasts on the grill bone side down, and cook for 13-15 minutes. Flip chicken breasts and cook skin side down for 5-7 more minutes. Flip chicken breasts over and brush generously with the BBQ Basting Sauce. (Discard any remaining Basting Sauce.) Continue cooking bone side down for another 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.

Steps:

• Combine avocado oil, barbeque sauce, vinegar, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne and stir until well mixed.
• Place chicken breasts into a bowl or zip-top bag and pour 2/3 of the marinade mixture over, making sure to coat all pieces. Reserve the leftover marinade to brush chicken while grilling. Allow chicken to marinate, 6 to 24 hours for best results.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill, brushing with reserved marinade and turning halfway through cooking time, until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
