Smoky Maple Glazed BBQ Chicken


Waterloo Slut

This easy BBQ chicken recipe has the right amount of sweet, smoky, and salty flavors. The crispy skin gets a caramelized touch from the maple glaze, which makes it a hit at any barbecue.

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Mix maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl

This will make the marinade

Put the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken thighs and put them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or better yet, overnight

Warm up the grill over medium-high heat

Take the chicken out of the marinade and let the extra run off

Turn the chicken over every so often for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C and the skin is golden brown

Use the rest of the marinade to baste the chicken with for the last five minutes of cooking to make a sticky glaze

Take it off the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, and then serve it with chopped fresh parsley on top
