Yo, grill masters! Diego “El Fuego” Morales here, straight from San Antonio’s food truck scene, droppin’ my Grilled Chicken Recipe with BBQ for the Brave Sizzling Rub. This ain’t your basic chicken—it’s got that Latin heat, mesquite smoke, and a bold kick that’ll light up your BBQ. Let’s crank up the open flame and get cookin’!

Ingredients for Your Grilled Chicken Recipe

For this Grilled Chicken Recipe, grab these essentials:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons BBQ for the Brave seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Mesquite wood chips for grilling

How to Make Grilled Chicken

Here’s how to nail this Grilled Chicken Recipe:

1. First, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F, adding mesquite wood chips for smoky flavor.
2. Next, pat chicken thighs dry. Rub with olive oil, then coat with BBQ for the Brave seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
3. Then, place chicken skin-side down on the grill. Sear for 5-6 minutes until crispy and golden.
4. After that, flip, reduce heat to medium, cover, and grill for 20-25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Finally, remove from grill, rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot.

Grilling Tips from El Fuego

For the best Grilled Chicken Recipe, use a meat thermometer to hit 165°F without drying out the meat. Additionally, mesquite chips give that authentic Latin smoke—don’t skip ‘em! For more grilling tips, check out Once Upon a Chef.
