1
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat from the chicken.
2
Season the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals until they're glowing and covered in ash.
4
Grill the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until grill marks appear and they release easily from the grill. Flip the chicken over.
5
Add BBQ Sauce
Brush BBQ sauce generously over the chicken thighs on the second side. Grill for another 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
