Grilled BBQ Chicken
The Grilled BBQ Chicken at Texas Roadhouse is a classic favorite for guests who love smoky, juicy, and flavorful meals. Unlike fried or heavily breaded chicken, this dish offers a lighter option while still capturing the bold taste Texas Roadhouse is known for. Many diners choose it when they want comfort food with a healthier twist, while others enjoy the crispy and hearty flavors of the Country Fried Chicken for a more traditional Southern-style experience.
🍴 Ingredients & Preparation
To begin with, the Grilled BBQ Chicken is made from a fresh, marinated chicken breast. Chefs grill it over an open flame to lock in juiciness and then brush it with Texas Roadhouse’s signature barbecue sauce. The result is a smoky, tender chicken breast packed with flavor. Each order comes with two made-from-scratch sides, giving diners plenty of ways to enjoy the meal.
⚙️ Customization Options
Moving forward, guests can customize their Grilled BBQ Chicken to suit their taste. You can ask for light, regular, or extra BBQ sauce, depending on your flavor preference. For sides, you can choose from mashed potatoes, seasoned rice, fresh vegetables, or a crisp house salad. Some guests even swap the chicken for a larger portion in combos, like the popular Grilled BBQ Chicken & Ribs.
