Share

Ingredients:
- 4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1/2 cup Schmidt Kickin’ Chipotle BBQ Sauce (don’t skimp—you’ll want extra for basting and dipping!)
Pro Tip: If you’re lucky enough to be in Nicollet, MN, swing by Schmidt’s
Meat Market to grab the freshest, juiciest chicken around. Trust us, it’s worth the trip.
Ingredients:
1. Marinate Like You Mean It
Toss those chicken pieces into a sealed bag or container, then drown them in Schmidt Kickin’ Chipotle BBQ Sauce like it’s a backyard BBQ baptism. Massage that saucy goodness into every inch, seal it up, and let the magic happen. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight will really make the flavors sing.
2. Get Your Grill On
Preheat your grill to medium-high, and give those grates a good oiling. We’re talking non-stick perfection—because chicken should stick to your ribs, not the grill.
3. Grill Like a Pro
Place the chicken on the grill and let it sear for 7-8 minutes per side for breasts, or 4-5 minutes per side for thighs. Keep an eye on that internal temp—it’s 165°F or bust. Nobody wants undercooked chicken, no matter how good the sauce smells.
4. Let It Rest
(Like a BBQ Champ) Once your chicken is cooked to perfection, let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This locks in the juices and ensures every bite is bursting with flavor. It’s science…and a little bit of Schmidt magic.
5. Serve It Schmidt Style
Here’s where the fun starts. Dice it up for tacos, shred it for burrito bowls, slice it over a fresh salad, or plate it with your favorite sides. No matter how you serve it, you’re guaranteed to win dinner.
Pro Tip: Got extra sauce? Of course you do. Use it for basting or as a dipping sauce—it’s the cherry on top of your grilled masterpiece.
Whether you’re grilling for the fam or impressing the neighbors, this recipe is your ticket to BBQ glory. Don’t forget to stop by Schmidt’s Meat Market in Nicollet, MN, for your chicken—and maybe a few other treats while you’re there. Because when it comes to quality, there’s no better Schmidt!
