JUICY BARBECUED CHICKEN THIGHS RECIPE



Juicy Barbecued Chicken Thighs Recipe image

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.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs about 10 count boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Sea Salt (about 1 tsp)
Pepper (about 1/4 tsp or to taste)
Mrs. Dash Seasoning (about 1 tsp, plain or garlic variety, or your favorite seasoning)
Garlic Powder (about 1/2 tsp)
1 Tbsp Real Mayo
1 medium onion (thickly sliced)
BBQ Sauce

Steps:

  • Season both sides of chicken thighs to taste. I used a total of 1 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 tsp Mrs. Dash Seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Turn the chicken to coat evenly with seasoning.
  • Stir in 1 Tbsp Mayo and mix the chicken until evenly coated.
  • Add thick-sliced onion and toss everything together. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and marinate 6 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill and generously brush grill plates with oil. Reduce heat to low and place chicken thighs with a smooth side up.
  • Cover the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes. I rotated them once to make criss-cross grill marks. Before flipping the thighs, baste them with BBQ Sauce.
  • Flip thighs over, baste the flip side with BBQ sauce then cover and cook for another 12-15 minutes, rotating once to make grill marks. Check for doneness by cutting the thicker part of the chicken. If juices run clear then its done. Flip the chicken again, coat it with BBQ sauce and remove from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Place Chicken thighs flat with the smooth side up on a large rimmed baking dish, spaced out in a single layer. Bake at 400˚F for 30 mins.
  • Increase heat to 450 and Remove chicken from oven to brush the tops and sides generously with BBQ sauce. Return chicken to the oven another 5 minutes or until glaze has dried slightly onto the chicken.

SUPER EASY BARBECUE CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS & THIGHS



Super Easy Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks & Thighs image

This recipe was given to me by a friend and I love it because it is very quick and easy to make & the taste is FABULOUS. Use your favorite BBQ sauce. This is best if you can let the chicken marinate all day or even better overnight. Cooking time includes both parts.

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h15m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 chicken drumsticks, with skin on
5 chicken thighs, with skin on (bone in)
2 cups barbecue sauce (you can eyeball it)

Steps:

  • PART ONE.
  • In 1 or 2 oblong storage containers (depending on size of yours - I need 2) pour 1/2 - 1 cup of BBQ sauce on bottom of each container and tilt container until BBQ sauce evenly coats bottom.
  • PART TWO.
  • Put chicken inside Dutch Oven or other large pot with lid.
  • Fill with water until water is about 2 inches higher than chicken.
  • Bring to boil and cook for 15 - 20 minutes - no longer or chicken will be tough.
  • Pour chicken & water into colander to drain water.
  • Leaving chicken in colander turn on cool water and while holding chicken leg or thigh under water pull off skin & any fat (usually on thigh pieces).
  • Place each piece into the container (for thighs place the piece meat side down - the side the bone isn't sticking out of).
  • Pour rest of the BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken making sure to cover all the meat.
  • Cover container and put into fridge either for the rest of the day or overnight. Because the chicken is hot it absorbs more of the BBQ sauce flavoring.
  • Tip - Because the sauce hasn't been cooked I save the extra sauce in a freezer bag in the fridge till the next time & use it first to line the container bottom. It doesn't go bad.
  • PART THREE.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place coated pieces on greased oblong pan.
  • Bake for 40 minutes (tastes even better if done on a grill).
