BBQ Chicken Ingredients

Method

BBQ Chicken Directions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for better flavor.

2

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

3

Grill the Chicken

Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4

Add BBQ Sauce

During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the BBQ sauce over the chicken, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

5

Serve

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
