Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high, around 400°F. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
- Place the marinated chicken thighs on the preheated grill and cook for 5–7 minutes per side.
- Brush BBQ sauce over the chicken during the last 2–3 minutes of grilling. Continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove from the grill and brush once more with BBQ sauce. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, use wood chips on the grill.
- Marinate overnight for richer taste.
- Leftovers are great for wraps, salads, or sandwiches.
