Easy Grilled Chicken Thighs In Sweet Bbq Sauce Recipes

BBQ GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BLACKBERRY BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, paprika and salt. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, season on both sides with the spice mixture and place in a gallon-size zip-top bag. Refrigerate for several hours but preferably overnight.
• Prepare and preheat your lump charcoal grill to create two heat zones: high and low.
• Brush the chicken thighs with olive oil and place them skin-side down on the hot side of the grill. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover and move the chicken to the low side of the grill, skin-side up. Cover and cook until the thighs reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour half the Blackberry BBQ Sauce into a medium bowl and use it to baste the chicken occasionally during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
• Remove the chicken from the grill. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
• In a large saucepan, combine the blackberries, beer, vinegars, sugar, onion, garlic, habanero, chipotle powder, coffee, coriander and cumin. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours. Carefully puree the sauce in a blender or food processor, then strain.

GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Place the chicken thighs into a large bowl. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the thighs. Toss to coat the chicken in the spices.
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours. (If you're short on time, you can grill right away but marinating is recommended.)
• Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 350F degrees) and carefully oil the grates. Once the grill is hot, place the chicken thighs, skin side down.
• Do not touch the thighs for 7 minutes. You can move them at a 45-degree angle to form diamond grill marks halfway through if you like that look.
• Monitor grill temperature so that it doesn't get too hot.
• Flip the thighs over and let cook for 3 minutes. Then, brush the chicken on the side facing up lightly with bbq sauce. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
• Flip the chicken again, and brush lightly with more bbq sauce on this side. Cook for 2 more minutes. Flip one last time, and brush again with bbq sauce, the skin side should be up at this point.
• Continue to cook until an internal temperature reaches 165°F. About 20 total minutes on the grill. Serve immediately.

DELICIOUS GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel.
• In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, white vinegar, salt, granulated sugar, and red pepper flakes.
• Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag.
• Pour marinade over top, seal bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for four to six hours, or up to overnight.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare the sauce by combining ketchup, white vinegar, brown sugar, sweet paprika, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, if using, and salt in a small saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes to thicken; then cover and set aside. If making the sauce a day in advance, cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring the sauce to room temperature before finishing the recipe, but do not boil or overheat it.
• Heat a grill on medium-low heat to about 300 F. Remove chicken from marinade, discard remaining marinade, and place chicken thighs skin-side down on heated grill.
• Cook for about 30 minutes with the lid down, turning occasionally.
• During the last 20 minutes or so of cooking, brush sauce over the chicken until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 F and the sauce has cooked down to a sticky consistency. Make sure to test more than one piece for consistency.
• Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the heat and place onto a large platter. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.

EASY GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS IN SWEET BBQ SAUCE

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.

GRILLED SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper together in a glass or ceramic bowl; reserve 1 cup in a separate container for basting. Add chicken to the remainder and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator, for 3 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and discard used marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, basting frequently with reserved 1 cup marinade mixture, 7 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with green onions.

EASY OVEN-ROASTED CHICKEN GYROS

Steps:

• Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, paprika, black pepper, cumin, coriander, oregano, red pepper, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir until well combined. Pound chicken thighs evenly to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Coat all chicken well in marinade, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut ends off onion and cut onion in half horizontally. Place onion halves next to each other on a parchment or foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Insert one skewer into each onion half, standing up vertically. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and thread each piece of chicken over the two skewers to form a large stack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until evenly browned and cooked through, about 1 hour, rotating halfway through. Allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve sliced chicken in a warm pita topped with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
