Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and ground cumin. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Season the chicken with salt, to taste. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Make sure all pieces are evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 6 7 minutes per side or until cooked through and slightly charred. Baste with additional BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor and a shiny glaze.
- Remove from heat, let rest for a couple of minutes, and then serve immediately.
