Honey-BBQ Grilled Chicken Thighs

Grilling is a fast and easy way to get dinner on the table on busy weeknights. But boneless, skinless chicken breasts can dry out easily on the grill, and they just get kind of boring after a little while. These Honey-BBQ Grilled Chicken Thighs are the perfect recipe! I love to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the slow cooker and on the grill. They have a little more flavor and a little more fat, so they are not as likely to dry out.
We love all things honey-bbq in this house (and you guys love honey-bbq recipes on this website, too!) This Honey-BBQ sauce is so easy to make, and it’s delicious on this chicken! The sweet and tangy flavor just helps you feel like summer time, any time you want to make this recipe.
I like Heinz Classic Sweet & Thick barbecue sauce for this recipe. You can use whatever barbecue sauce you like. Different BBQ sauces can have very different flavors, so switch it up to see what works best for you!
This recipe calls for 4-4.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. That’s a lot of chicken, so it’s perfect for feeding a crowd or for having lots of leftovers. Or make a big batch and freeze some for a fast and easy dinner on another night! If you want a way to reinvent this recipe, you’ll love this Honey-BBQ Chicken Salad!
What’s your favorite way to enjoy chicken? Have you tried chicken thighs before?
Enjoy!
