Grilled BBQ Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.5 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).
2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill over direct heat and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
4. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes.
5. Move the chicken thighs to indirect heat, skin-side up, and brush generously with BBQ sauce.
6. Close the grill lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
