Description
These BBQ chicken thighs are so tender and flavorful. I love that you can prep them ahead of time and just toss ’em on the grill when you’re ready; making them perfect for parties. You’ll want to marinate the chicken at least 6 hours and it’s best to let them marinate overnight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 10 count)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp Mrs. Dash Seasoning (plain or garlic variety)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp real mayonnaise
- 1 medium onion, thickly sliced
- BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Season: Season both sides of chicken thighs to taste using 1 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 tsp Mrs. Dash Seasoning, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
- Coat: Stir in 1 Tbsp Mayo and mix the chicken until evenly coated.
- Marinate: Add thick-sliced onion and toss everything together. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and marinate 6 hours or overnight.
- Preheat: Preheat the grill and generously brush grill plates with oil.
- Grill: Reduce heat to low and place chicken thighs with a smooth side up. Cover the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Baste and Flip: Baste the thighs with BBQ Sauce. Flip thighs over, baste the flip side with BBQ sauce then cover and cook for another 12-15 minutes.
- Finish: Flip the chicken again, coat it with BBQ sauce and remove from the grill.
- Rest: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Baking Method: Preheat Oven to 400˚F. Place chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking dish and bake for 30 mins. Increase heat to 450˚F, brush tops and sides with BBQ sauce, and bake for another 5 minutes.
