Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Pour the marinade over chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, making sure it’s well coated.
Seal or cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 4–8 hours for maximum flavor.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill, bake, or sauté until fully cooked.

Notes

This marinade works great with boneless or bone-in chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks.
Discard leftover marinade or boil it for 2–3 minutes to use as a basting sauce during cooking.
