In this recipe, chicken breasts are cooked sous vide using the Anova Precision® Cooker to ensure they are moist and tender, then finished on the grill with a homemade barbecue sauce. Sous vide cooking allows you to achieve a perfectly cooked chicken every time, with no guesswork required. This recipe is perfect for a summer barbecue or any time you want a delicious and easy-to-make meal. This recipe can be adapted for bone-in chicken or boneless chicken thighs. For bone-in chicken, the cooking time will need to be adjusted to ensure that the chicken is fully cooked. I recommend increasing the cooking time by an additional 30 minutes for bone-in chicken breasts or thighs, and an additional 1 hour for bone-in chicken legs. The cooking temperature remains the same at 145°F (63°C). For boneless chicken thighs, the cooking time can be reduced to 1 hour, as they are typically thinner than chicken breasts. The cooking temperature remains the same at 145°F (63°C). Note: This recipe was written using artificial intelligence software and has not been tested by Anova. Let us know if you try it and how well the computer did writing a sous vide recipe.

  • Step 2

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in a freezer-style zipper lock bag. Add the oil to the bag, seal it, and use the water displacement method to remove the air from the bag.

    • Step 2

      Brush the chicken with the barbecue sauce and grill it for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until it is nicely charred and heated through.

    • Step 3

      Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill, brush it with more barbecue sauce, and serve immediately. Best way to serve it: This sous vide barbecue chicken is delicious on its own or served with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or potato salad. Enjoy!
