Let’s be honest. When summer hits, I want to be outside with a drink in hand—not stuck babysitting a complicated dinner. That’s where this grilled BBQ chicken steps in. It’s smoky, juicy, a little charred in all the right places, and sweet where it counts. No dry, sad chicken breasts here. We’re talking thighs with enough flavor to make your neighbor lean over the fence ‘just to chat.’ I use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs because they’re practically foolproof on the grill. They soak up the marinade like champs and crisp up beautifully without turning into rubber. And hey, even if you accidentally wander off mid-cook, the forgiving fat content gives you a little grace. This recipe checks all the boxes: easy grilled chicken recipes, quick and easy recipes, air fryer easy recipes (yep, you can adapt it), easy chicken dinner recipes, and even sweet easy recipes if you lean into that honey glaze. Whether you’re meal-prepping or just avoiding the stove, this one’s for you. Let’s get our grill on—without the drama.
