SMOKY GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Smoky Grilled Chicken Thighs is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish marinated in BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, olive oil, and seasonings. The chicken thighs take on a deep, smoky flavour, perfectly charred on the grill. The juicy, tender chicken paired with the slightly sweet and tangy BBQ sauce creates a rich, flavourful meal that’s ideal for a quick dinner, a BBQ gathering, or a weekend lunch. For a balanced, healthy meal, serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

PREPARATION

  • Marinate The Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thigh evenly with the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat The Grill: Set the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill The Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thigh on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
  • Serve: Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

PREP TIME

15 minutes (including marinating)

COOKING TIME

10-12 minutes

TIPS

  • Marinating Time: For deeper flavour, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours before grilling.
  • Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
  • Grill Marks: For those perfect grill marks, don’t move the chicken too much while it’s cooking. Let it sear properly on each side.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the marinade for a tangier flavour.
  • Honey BBQ Twist: Mix 1/2 tsp of honey with the BBQ sauce for a sweeter glaze.
  • Herb Marinade: Replace the smoked paprika with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a herby flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store any leftover grilled chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze the marinated or cooked chicken for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before grilling or reheating.
  • Reheating: Reheat the chicken in a grill pan or oven to retain its juicy texture. Avoid microwaving to prevent dryness.
