Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or if you have more time, let it marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 4
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, until the skin is crispy and has nice grill marks.
Step 5
Flip the chicken thighs and brush a generous amount of barbecue sauce over the cooked side.
Step 6
Continue grilling for another 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally and basting with more barbecue sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
