Spicy Grilled Chicken Thighs Recipe
An easy tasty rub gives boneless, skinless chicken thighs just the right combination of sweet and spicy!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 ounces each)
Instructions
- Combine the brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, salt and chili powder and rub all over the chicken.
- Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil. Using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack with the oil.
- Grill the chicken thighs, covered, over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until opaque and cooked through or until a thermometer reads 170°F.
- If you don't have a thermometer, to test for doneness, pierce a thigh with a knife and, if the juice is clear, the thighs are done.

And the thighs stay moist and tender, even if left on the grill a little too long. While the chicken cooks, you can grill some vegetables or toss together a simple salad.
