Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Whisk together avocado oil, barbecue sauce, vinegar, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne in a medium bowl until marinade is well combined.
Step 3
Place chicken breasts in a large glass or ceramic bowl (or a resealable plastic bag). Pour 2/3 of the marinade over breasts, tossing to evenly coat; reserve remaining 1/3 of the marinade to brush on breasts while grilling. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or squeeze out excess air and seal the bag) and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours.
Step 4
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard used marinade. Cook chicken on the preheated grill, brushing with reserved marinade and turning halfway through, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
