Grilled Barbecue Chicken Thighs
Unknowingly, we recently realized that we have started a Tuesday grilling trend! So, in honor of this new weekly trend we decided to keep the grilling going with our barbecue chicken recipe. This one is super simple and great for the summer, but we can’t resist making this one even when it is cold outside!
We are sharing our recipe for our homemade barbecue sauce with you, but feel free to use whatever your favorite is if you prefer! There are so many great and fun barbecue sauce recipes out there, so please share yours with us as well because we would love to give them a try!
Happy Grilling!
