Tips:
- To ensure perfectly cooked chicken thighs, it's crucial to use a meat thermometer and cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For a smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill or smoker. If you don't have access to one, you can use a regular grill or even a stovetop grill pan.
- If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken thighs for as little as 30 minutes. However, for the best flavor, marinate them for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Baste the chicken thighs with the barbecue sauce every few minutes during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. This will help them stay moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or baked beans.
