Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, maple syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Pat the chicken dry (if using chicken breasts, pound them into an even thickness). Place in a sturdy ziptop bag or a small dish that will hold it snugly. Add the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible (if using). Turn to coat the chicken in the marinade.
- Refrigerate the chicken in the BBQ marinade for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day. Cook as desired—see Grilled Chicken Breast, Grilled Chicken Thighs, Baked BBQ Chicken Breast, and Smoked Chicken Breast for cooking methods.
