I'm about to make BBQ chicken for the first time and could use some guidance. How should I prepare it to ensure it's delicious? Any tips on seasoning, marinating, or cooking techniques would be super helpful! Thanks a bunch!

The first thing you need to do is to rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat them dry. Next, remove any visible fat or skin (if you prefer leaner meat). Then, rub the chicken with a light coating of olive oil or cooking spray. You also need to season the pieces generously with salt and pepper.

For your first BBQ chicken, start with a simple marinade of oil, vinegar, garlic, and your favorite spices. Let the chicken soak for at least an hour, then grill it over medium heat until cooked through and slightly charred. Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce for extra flavor.
