Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken pieces.
In a separate bowl, mix the dairy-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Set aside for basting.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the grill, skin-side down, and cook for 10 minutes.
Flip the chicken thighs and continue to grill for another 10 minutes.
Brush the chicken thighs with the BBQ sauce mixture and grill for an additional 5 minutes.
Flip the chicken, brush the other side with BBQ sauce, and grill for another 5 minutes.
Continue to grill, occasionally basting with more BBQ sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (approximately another 5-10 minutes).
Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free classic chicken BBQ!
