Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thigh boneless
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag. Seal and shake to mix. Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients in a bowl.
- Add the chicken thighs and allow to marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, brushing the grates with oil beforehand. Place the chicken thighs on the grates and grill for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and brush it generously with BBQ sauce. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and brush with more sauce. Continue to flip and brush every minute until the chicken registers 170 to 175 degrees Fahrenheit at the thickest part when tested with an instant read thermometer.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board or large serving plate. Tent it with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
