Grilled BBQ Chicken Thighs
Bone-in chicken thighs rubbed with paprika, smoked paprika, garlic and brown sugar, then grilled over medium heat until the skin crisps. Basted in a tangy tomato-based barbecue sauce that caramelizes into a sticky glaze. Served with extra sauce on the side, a classic backyard cookout plate.
