Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 6 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and ground mustard. Add water and stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
Brush the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and has nice grill marks.
Flip the thighs over and brush the BBQ sauce generously over the skinless side. Close the grill lid and cook for another 16-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the BBQ chicken thighs with extra sauce on the side if desired.
