Equipment

  • Gas or Charcoal BBQ grill

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Granulated garlic
  • ½ tablespoon Onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon Salt kosher or sea salt

Barbecue Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • ½ Yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup Ketchup
  • 4 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoon Steak sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup Brown sugar firmly packed
  • ¼ cup Water

Instructions

  • Trim any excess fat off the chicken thighs and pat dry. Place in a large baking sheet or Ziploc bag and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Mix the garlic, onion powder and salt and rub into the chicken so they are well coated with the dry rub. Set aside
  • In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook till translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and water, and heat till gently boiling.
  • Lower heat to a low simmer and slightly cover sauce pan. Allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, then remove from heat. Reserve about ½-1 cup of sauce to glaze the chicken with, and the rest for dipping.
  • While sauce is cooking, heat grill on medium-high heat till temperature is about 375 degrees.
  • Place chicken thighs directly on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes per side, till the thighs have nice grill marks and the juices run clear when pierced.
  • Baste one side of the chicken with barbecue sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes. Flip and glaze the other side and grill for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow thighs to rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Dish out remaining barbecue sauce and serve alongside the grilled chicken thighs for additional dipping.
