Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 3 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 2 medium Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 quarter cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Rub them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Set aside.
Wash and slice the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onions into thick chunks or rings to ensure even grilling. Toss the veggies in a large bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.
Prepare the BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, soy sauce, honey, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5-6 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes on each side, basting them generously with the BBQ sauce halfway through the cooking process.
While the chicken is cooking, place the prepared vegetables on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, turning once, until tender and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken and veggies from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve the BBQ chicken hot with the grilled vegetables on the side. Optionally, drizzle extra BBQ sauce on top for added flavor.
