Grilled Barbecue Chicken
Key Product – Picante Barbecue Seasoning
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 3–4):
- 500 g chicken (thighs, drumsticks, wings, or boneless breast)
- 2 tbsp oil (olive oil or any cooking oil)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
- 1½–2 tbsp Picante Barbecue Seasoning

🔥 Tip: Make small cuts in drumsticks for deeper flavor.
🔥 Step 2: Preheat the Grill
- Heat grill or grill pan to medium heat.
- Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Cook until internal temperature reaches 75°C or juices run clear.
🌿 Step 4: Rest & Serve

- Sprinkle a light dusting of barbecue seasoning on top for extra aroma.
- Garnish with Picante Parsley.
