Ingredients:
– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup barbecue sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
– Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Mix BBQ Sauce Marinade:
– Combine barbecue sauce, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Mix well to create a marinade.
3. Marinate the Chicken:
– Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the barbecue sauce marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Cook Over Campfire:
– Prepare your campfire and let the flames die down to hot coals. Place a grill grate over the coals and grease lightly to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the Chicken:
– Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill grate. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, brushing with additional barbecue sauce marinade during cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
6. Serve:
– Transfer the grilled BBQ chicken thighs to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the smoky, tangy flavors of campfire BBQ chicken!
Tips:
– Add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the barbecue sauce marinade for a spicier kick.
– Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
– Pair with your favorite sides like corn on the cob, baked beans, or a fresh green salad for a complete outdoor meal.
