Equipment

  • 1 Blackstone Griddle

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Mix the brown sugar, salt, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture generously all over each chicken thigh and gently rub it in until well coated.
  • Preheat the Blackstone to medium heat and oil as needed.
  • Place the seasoned thighs onto the Blackstone. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Turn the thighs and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary. The thighs should be beginning to brown without getting overly dark.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Brush both sides of the chicken thighs generously with barbecue sauce. Continue cooking on each side for 2-3 additional minutes. When done, the internal temperature should be 165°F in the thickest part of each thigh.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
