Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a grill or grill pan to medium, about 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry.

  2. 2

    Toss the thighs with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Grill skin side down for 6 to 7 minutes until well marked, then flip and grill 6 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Brush with BBQ sauce, flip, and cook 2 minutes. Brush and flip once more so both sides get glazed.

  5. 5

    Cook until an instant-read thermometer hits 175°F in the thickest part, then rest 5 minutes before serving.
