– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Barbecue Sauce:

– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
2. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

1. In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
2. Stir the mixture over medium heat until all ingredients are well combined. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
3. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Grill the Chicken:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
3. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the prepared barbecue sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
4. Serve:
