👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F-400°F (190°C-200°C).

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 375°F-400°F

AI Wisdom: Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to create a spice rub.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Adjust the spice levels to your preference.
3

Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Let the seasoned chicken rest for flavors to meld, if time allows.
4

Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

⏱️ 14 min (ish) 🌡️ 165°F

AI Wisdom: Grill with the lid closed for smokier flavor. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
5

Brush BBQ sauce on both sides of the chicken thighs during the last 2-3 minutes of grilling.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: This creates a sticky, flavorful glaze on the chicken.
6

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy chicken.
7

Serve the spicy BBQ chicken hot with your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.

AI Wisdom: Enjoy the smoky, spicy, and tangy flavors of the BBQ chicken.
