Coat the chicken pieces with the dry rub and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to infuse flavors.

After 45 minutes, baste the chicken pieces with BBQ sauce and cook them for an additional 15 20 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, and enjoy!

Use hardwood chips like hickory or applewood for a classic smoky flavor.
