The best part about these Barbecue Chicken Thighs is that it’s just as good as leftovers as it is hot off the grill, so we always make enough for at least two meals. My family loves to barbecue even when it’s freezing out, but you could always cook this chicken under the broiler or on an indoor grill. The seasoning mix gives this recipe a nutritional boost and is inspired by a recipe in Alton Brown’s I’m Just Here for the Food: Version 2.0. My toddler actually loves this chicken and will easily eat an entire thigh by herself.
