Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, coconut aminos, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth to prepare the barbecue sauce.
Step 3
Lightly coat the chicken thighs with olive oil and season them with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush a generous amount of the prepared BBQ sauce on both sides of the chicken thighs.
Step 5
Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 6-8 minutes per side, basting with additional BBQ sauce frequently, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Once grilled to perfection, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 7
Serve the Paleo Classic Chicken BBQ warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs, alongside your choice of Paleo-friendly sides.
