Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk together until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour half of the prepared BBQ sauce over the chicken thighs. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the used marinade.

Step 7

Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Step 8

Flip the chicken thighs and continue to grill for another 30-35 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved BBQ sauce, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 9

If using an oven, place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, basting with BBQ sauce every 10 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from the grill or oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides, and enjoy the finger-licking Paleo BBQ chicken thighs.
