Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 piece jalapeño (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves (roughly chopped)
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.
In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub the spice mix onto both sides of each piece.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the seasoned chicken thighs, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken thighs for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side, until pliable. Keep the tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm.
In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cabbage with lime juice and a pinch of salt for a quick slaw.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and hot sauce to create a spicy crema. Adjust the heat level to your preference.
Dice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss it with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
To assemble the tacos, layer each warm tortilla with a scoop of BBQ chicken, a handful of lime-cabbage slaw, a few slices of jalapeño, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Drizzle the spicy crema on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bold flavors of the Fieri 4!
