    Serving suggestions

    Wondering what to serve with barbecue chicken? The possibilities are endless but here are some of my favorites:

    • potato salad, crispy roasted potatoes, or baked potatoes
    • corn on the cob
    • collard greens
    • macaroni and cheese

    FAQs

    Can I use bone in chicken, drumsticks, or chicken thighs?

    You can certainly use other cuts of chicken but cooking time will need to be adjusted. Make sure you cook the meat until it is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

    How do you store/reheat leftovers?

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave, adding extra bbq sauce over the top beforehand for best results.
