Charcoal Grilled BBQ Chicken Breast Recipe

Start with three lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast, pounded flat. I don’t pound my to hard. Their still rather thick. It’s all about your preference.

Add the pounded chicken breasts to a 3 quart bowl or one gallon freezer bag and fill with water.

Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons of Kosher salt. Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the meat to brine. I sometimes let mine sit overnight.

In the meantime, make your BBQ sauce so all of the flavors have time to combine.
