Grilled BBQ Chicken Thighs (High-Protein)
Boneless chicken thighs are marinated in smoked paprika and garlic, grilled over medium-high heat until charred, then brushed with tomato-based barbecue sauce. Black beans folded through cumin and lime add plant protein and fibre. Served with grilled scallions and a squeeze of lime for a smoky, protein-dense plate.

Instructions
1
Prep
Combine the chicken thighs with smoked paprika, the garlic minced, cayenne, salt and half the olive oil until the surface looks uniformly rust-red.
2
Marinate
Cover and leave at room temperature for 40 minutes so the spices penetrate.
3
Grill
Grill the thighs over medium-high heat 6 to 7 minutes per side until charred in spots and the juices run clear when pierced.
4
Glaze
Brush thighs with bbq sauce over medium heat a final 2 minutes per side until the sauce looks tacky and caramelised, tossing scallions on the grill 2 minutes.
5
Plate
Warm the black beans with cumin and lime, spoon onto a plate, rest the glazed thighs and charred scallions on top.
