Ingredients for BBQ Chicken

Method

Directions for BBQ Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a crispy skin.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 6-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Flip and Sauce

    Flip the chicken thighs over and brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce on the cooked side. Grill for another 6-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish Grilling

    Flip the chicken thighs again, brush with more BBQ sauce, and continue grilling for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  7. 7

    Rest and Garnish

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
