Preheat the pellet grill to 325°F (163°C).

Measure out and prepare the Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub, olive oil or avocado oil, and BBQ sauce.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, if needed, as part of mise en place.

Drizzle each dried chicken breast with olive oil or avocado oil and coat all sides evenly.

Season the oiled chicken breasts all over with Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub until evenly coated.

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 15 minutes.

Flip each chicken breast over, close the grill lid, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 150°F (66°C).

Baste each chicken breast with BBQ sauce, then continue cooking on the grill for 5-10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and place them on a plate. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches approximately 165°F (74°C).
