Storage Tips

Use Glad wrap and refrigerate perishable food as soon as possible to maintain quality and cross-contamination.

Reheat Tips

Reheat (oven): Warm in a 325°F oven, covered with foil, until heated through to help retain moisture.
Reheat (microwave): Heat in short intervals, covered, with a splash of water or extra BBQ sauce to prevent drying out.
Reheat (grill): Reheat over low heat just until warmed through to maintain smoky flavor and texture.
Freshness Tip: Add a fresh brush of BBQ sauce or ranch after reheating to refresh flavor and keep chicken juicy.

Please visit the USDA website for more food storage and reheating tips.

Steps(5)

1
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Mix the olive oil with the ranch seasoning mix and rub all over the chicken. Let the chicken marinate while you prep the grill.
2
Preheat a charcoal grill using Kingsford™ Charcoal to medium-high heat and grease the grates.
3
Grill the chicken 5–7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Brush with KC Masterpiece during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
4
Remove the chicken from the grill and rest it for 5 minutes before serving.
5
Serve with extra ranch and BBQ sauce on the side.

Ingredient Tips:

For even cooking, use chicken pieces that are similar in size and thickness. If needed, pound thicken chicken breasts to an even thickness, so they cook evenly and stay juicy.
