Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix together BBQ sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs and drumsticks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350-400°F).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Place the chicken pieces on the grill over direct heat, skin-side down first. Grill for about 10-12 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, brush additional BBQ sauce onto the chicken for extra flavor.
- Once cooked through and nicely charred, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with your favorite BBQ sides.
