Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Take the chicken thighs and rub the spice mixture evenly over each piece. Ensure they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, brushing with spicy barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken thighs hot, garnished with additional barbecue sauce if desired. Enjoy your Spicy Carolina dish!
