Grilled BBQ Chicken Thighs

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 2 hours 25 minutes

Ingredients

6 bone-in chicken thighs

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup bbq sauce

Directions

Place the 6 bone-in chicken thighs into a large bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper evenly over the thighs. Toss to coat the chicken in the spices.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours. (If you're short on time, you can grill right away but marinating is recommended.)

Clean then carefully oil the grill grates then preheat the grill to medium heat (about 350F degrees). Once the grill is hot, place the chicken thighs, skin side down.

Do not touch the thighs for 7 minutes. You can move them at a 45-degree angle to form diamond grill marks halfway through if you like that look.

Monitor grill temperature so that it doesn't get too hot.

Flip the thighs over and let cook for 3 minutes. Then, brush the chicken on the side facing up lightly with some of the 1/2 cup bbq sauce. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Flip the chicken again, and brush lightly with more bbq sauce on this side. Cook for 2 more minutes. Flip one last time, and brush again with bbq sauce, the skin side should be up at this point.

Continue to cook until an internal temperature reaches 165°F. About 20 total minutes on the grill. Serve immediately.
