Optional Garnish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin to get crispy during cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Oil the Grill Grates

    Using a paper towel dipped in olive oil, carefully wipe the grill grates to prevent sticking.

  3. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until grill marks appear, then flip.

  4. 6

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the chicken thighs. Grill for another 5-7 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 7

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle fresh parsley over the grilled chicken and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
