Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Making BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, mustard, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  2. 6

    Baste with BBQ Sauce

    During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken thighs generously with the prepared BBQ sauce. Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly on the grill.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
