Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs.

Making BBQ Sauce

  1. 2

    Mix BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, brushing generously with the BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
