Chicken thighs and legs will hold up better to long, slow cooking than will breasts which can more easily dry out. If you barbecue breasts, keep them on the coolest part of the grill (or follow this method). Barbecue and teriyaki are the most popular sauces for grilled chicken thighs, but there are several other great choices. You can have BBQ Chicken Thighs using 6 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
