Instructions

  1. 1

    Thigh Preparation

    Rinse the chicken thighs and pat dry thoroughly. Season evenly with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill Setup

    Charcoal: Light a charcoal chimney and allow the coals to heat for about 10 minutes until fully ignited. Heat Zones: Create a one-zone grill by pouring the hot coals evenly in the grill. Temperature: Preheat the grill to 350–450°F, ideal for even cooking.

    Cooking Process

    Arrange the thighs on the indirect heat side of the grill, positioning them near but not over the coals. Cover the grill and cook at approximately 400°F for 8–9 minutes. Flip, cover again, and cook an additional 8–9 minutes, until the thighs are cooked through. Move the thighs over direct heat to crisp the skin, turning frequently for 10–12 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Finishing

    Once the thighs are golden brown and crispy, transfer to a serving container. Pour the warm barbeque sauce over the thighs, tossing to coat evenly.
