Backyard BBQ Chicken Thighs with Honey-Lime Glaze Recipe
Backyard BBQ Chicken Thighs are grilled boneless thighs coated in a smoky spice rub and brushed with honey-lime barbecue glaze. They are practical for cookouts because the meat stays juicy, the sauce uses pantry staples, and the method works on gas or charcoal.

Tutor's tips
- •Use boneless thighs of similar size so every piece finishes at the same time.
- •Wait until the second half of grilling to add the glaze, since honey can burn over direct heat.
- •For stronger smoke flavor, add a small foil packet of soaked wood chips to a gas grill or a handful of chips to charcoal.
