# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1.36 kg chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
→ Sweet and Spicy Rub
02 -
2.5 ml crushed red pepper
03 -
5 ml oregano, dried
04 -
45 ml brown sugar
05 -
10 ml onion powder
06 -
10 ml chili powder
07 -
10 ml garlic powder or granulated garlic
08 -
15 ml smoked paprika
09 -
5 ml salt
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Take the chicken off the grill and let it sit for about five minutes so it stays nice and juicy when you dig in.
02 -
Get your grill hot over medium heat. Put those marinated chicken thighs on, pop the lid down, and leave them for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. You're done as soon as the thickest part reaches 74°C and any juice that comes out is clear.
03 -
Stick the chicken in the fridge for at least four hours, or let it hang out overnight so the flavors really soak in.
04 -
Drop the chicken into a big bowl or a zip-top bag, then throw all that seasoning mix on top. Give it a good toss so every piece gets a tasty coat.
05 -
Grab a small bowl and stir together the brown sugar, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and crushed red pepper. Mix until it's all one color.
# Extra Information:
01 -
If you want the chicken super tender and packed with flavor, go ahead and let it marinate in the fridge all night.
