Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs bone in, skin on
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Rub
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika together in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on the chicken, make sure to get the rub underneath and on top of the skin.3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 4 chicken thighs
- Cook the chicken on a medium high grill using indirect heat for 25 to 35 minutes, with the chicken placed on a cooler portion of the grill.
- Turn the chicken every 8 to 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken will be ready for the BBQ sauce when it is firm to the touch but still, has some spring to it.1 cup BBQ sauce
- The final touch for this chicken is to paint on the BBQ sauce. You'll want to have 1 cup of BBQ sauce, a silicon brush, and a pair of long-handled tongs ready for saucing the chicken.
- Once you have everything ready, brush a layer of sauce on one side of the chicken, then flip the chicken on to a hot part of the grill and paint the other side with sauce.
- Let the chicken cook on the hot part of the grill for a minute or two on each side and then turn it over, so the other side is sauce down on the hot part of the grill.
- The goal here is to crisp everything up while adding some color, and a layer of sauce to the chicken. Repeat this process until each side has been sauced and crisped three times.
- Take the chicken off the grill and let it rest for five minutes. Serve with the other cup of BBQ sauce on the side.
