Grilled Chicken with Chipotle BBQ Sauce: We added a spicy twist to this BBQ chicken, and it’s a must-try! The sauce for this chicken is a perfect mix of spicy, smokey, and sweet, but if you are grilling for family and friends who might not love spice, we suggest lightly brushing the sauce on the chicken and serving this chicken with extra sauce on the side.
