Instructions
Add the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing to a gallon-sized Ziploc freezer bag. Seal and knead to combine the BBQ sauce and dressing.
Open the bag and add in the chicken. Seal again, then knead so that all the chicken is coated in the sauce. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for 4 hours or up to all day. Tenderloins only need the 4 hours to marinate.
Using tongs, place the chicken on a grill preheated to medium. Cook 2 minutes per side for tenderloins or 7 minutes per side for breasts, or until the internal temp reaches 165 degrees. Serves 4.
