- Cook the chicken on a medium high grill using indirect heat for 25 to 35 minutes. The chicken should be placed on a cooler part of the grill and not over a flame. Flip the chicken every 8 to 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Once you're ready, brush a layer of sauce on one side of the chicken, then flip the chicken sauce side down on a hot part of the grill and paint the other side with the sauce.1-1/2 cups Ancho Chili BBQ Sauce
- Let the chicken cook for a couple of minutes, then turn it over so the other side is sauce down still on a hot part of the grill.
- The goal is to crisp everything up, while adding color and a layer of sauce to the chicken. Repeat until each side has been sauced and fired three times.
- Take the chicken off the grill and let it rest for five minutes. Serve with the rest of BBQ sauce.
