Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 lb)
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
(Optional) Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then season them with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Brush the chicken thighs with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated. Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 3

During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken generously with BBQ sauce on both sides, letting it caramelize slightly.

Step 4

Once the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice BBQ glaze, remove it from the grill. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

For an extra smoky flavor, try grilling with the lid closed to trap the heat.
