Instructions

1
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium, about 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry.
2
Toss the thighs with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3
Grill skin side down for 6 to 7 minutes until well marked, then flip and grill 6 minutes more.
4
Brush with BBQ sauce, flip, and cook 2 minutes. Brush and flip once more so both sides get glazed.
5
Cook until an instant-read thermometer hits 175°F in the thickest part, then rest 5 minutes before serving.
