I love foil packet meals for convenient weeknight dinners to throw on the grill or make in the oven. You can prep them ahead and refrigerate until ready to cook. My preferred foil for foil packet meals is Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil which has a heavier gauge foil than standard Reynolds Wrap, perfect so you don’t have to worry about breaking or tearing, even with heavier foods and it protects food over direct heat.

I wanted to keep this as simple as possible, and knowing it’s not easy to get fresh produce I am sure many of you have your freezer stocked with frozen veggies. See below with easy modifications.

BBQ Chicken Foil Packets

Chicken – I used drumsticks and thighs but if you prefer white meat, replace the two pieces with one larger on the bone breast, with the skin removed.

Veggies – For the veggies, I used frozen mixed vegetables here, which taste so good from the juices of the chicken and BBQ sauce as it cooks. For variations, you can also use peas and carrots or corn instead.

BBQ Sauce – Use your favorite brand of BBQ sauce, or use your own homemade Kansas City Style BBQ Sauce.

Reynolds Wrap is produced using food safety and quality standards, making the foil my go-to in the kitchen and on the grill. Heavy Duty Foil is also available in a wider 18-inch roll, great for larger foil packets to throw on the grill.

How To Make A Foil Packet

  • Tear off an 18” sheet of foil.
  • Center the food on the foil sheet.
  • Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food.
  • Double fold the ends, leaving room for heat to circulate inside.
  • Double fold the two short ends to seal the packet.
  • Bake or grill as instructed.

  • 8 pieces chicken drumsticks and thighs, on the bone, skinned
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce, divided
  • optional chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • 4 pieces Reynolds Wrap heavy duty foil, 12 x 18 inches
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat or the oven to 425F.

  • Cut four large 18 x 12-inch pieces of foil and layout on a flat surface.

  • Place 3/4 cup frozen mixed veggies in the center of each piece of foil.

  • Season chicken with salt, garlic powder and paprika. Brush both sides of the chicken with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce and place 2 pieces (1 drumstick, 1 thigh) in the middle of each foil packet.

  • Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food. Double fold the ends, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Double fold the two short ends to seal the packet tight, so no steam escapes.

To Grill the Foil Packets:

  • Place foil packets onto a preheated grill over medium-high heat and grill, covered over indirect heat for 50 to 55 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and chicken reaches an internal temp of 160F when tested with an instant read thermometer.

  • Remove from the grill and carefully open the foil packets. Brush chicken with reserved BBQ sauce and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Bake Foil Packets in the Oven:

  • Preheat oven to 425F.

  • Place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake 50 to 55 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and tender and reaches an internal temp of 160F with an instant read thermometer.

  • Remove baking sheet from oven. Carefully open foil and brush the chicken with remaining BBQ sauce, bake 5 minutes uncovered and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
