Who needs to wait for BBQ weather to have these Grilled BBQ Chicken Thighs ? Create them indoors until the weather cooperates and don’t forget the much acclaimed White BBQ Sauce, a perfect combination if there ever was one! These two recipes were discovered years ago on a Southern Living recipe site and it’s been a favorite ever since! With maybe a little tweak here and there, the credit is theirs!
Simplicity is the basis for this flavorful rub which soaks into the chicken for about 4 hours in the refrigerator. Quickly combine the spices together with a whisk.
Dump it into a Ziploc bag containing the chicken thighs, then seal. Shake the bag to distribute the rub. Take time to massage the rub into the chicken. Refrigerate for 4 hours, massage rub into chicken every hour until ready to cook.
Bake at 350 degrees in the oven for about 20 minutes on a non-stick foil-lined sheet pan. Check the temperature and adjust time if it has not reached 180 degrees. If grilling , turn after 10 minutes and cook an additional 10 until internal temperature is 180 degrees.
The White BBQ Sauce drizzled on the Grilled BBQ Chicken is the touch of perfection! Here it is again for your pleasure!
