Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb. bone-in chicken thighs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 - 1/3 cup bbq sauce (your favorite kind)

Steps:

  • Begin by taking out the chicken thighs and pat each one with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Next, add the garlic powder, chipotle powder, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt into a small bowl and mix all the spices together.
  • Pour the spices over the chicken thighs and massage the thighs with the spices and be sure that each chicken thigh is covered with spices.
  • Let the chicken thighs sit for at least 30 minutes in the spices (longer is always better). This will help get the juices get flowing and flavor the meat.
  • While the chicken is sitting, preheat the grill to 400ºF and make sure there is indirect and direct grilling space on the grill.
  • When the chicken is ready, place the chicken on the grill skin side down over direct heat for 4-5 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin.
  • Flip the chicken and cook the chicken for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Lastly, flip the chicken one more time (skin up) and move it to indirect heat.
  • Add a tablespoon or so of BBQ sauce to each chicken thigh and spread out the sauce evenly over the thighs.
  • Close the grill and let the BBQ sauce caramelize for 2-3 more minutes and then remove the thighs from the grill.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes and then enjoy with more BBQ sauce.

Time 27m

Yield 2 chicken thighs, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 chicken thighs
30 ml teriyaki sauce (2 tablespoons)
30 ml soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
45 ml ketchup (3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon ginger (ground ginger is OK too)
3 tablespoons caster sugar (for a helathier choice use sugar substitute)

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 20min.
  • Pre-heat the grill for 2 minutes.
  • Grill the chicken thighs for 12 minutes on each side. Do not turn more than once but make sure you rotate the grill once, so that the chicken browns evenly.

Tips:

  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They are more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts, and they cook more evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken in a flavorful sauce or marinade for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grates.
  • Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken thighs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables. They can also be used in salads, sandwiches, or wraps. No matter how you choose to serve them, grilled chicken thighs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
