Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). If using an oven, preheat to 400°F.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up during cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. If using an oven, place the chicken on a baking sheet with a wire rack and bake for 25 minutes.
Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce on the chicken on all sides. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, flipping and basting with more BBQ sauce halfway through. Look for an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy your Simple BBQ Chicken!
