Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, honey, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. 5

    Add BBQ Sauce

    During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with BBQ sauce. Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your BBQ chicken!
