Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs skin on
  • 3-4 T sweet BBQ rub
  • ½ bottle Hot Honey Peach BBQ Glaze
  • ½ bottle Sweet BBQ Sauce
  • 2 jalapeños thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Season chicken generously with BBQ rub.

Notes

💡

  • The sugars in the peach sauce caramelize quickly, so glaze the chicken at the end of the grill session to avoid burning.
  • Always cook chicken to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
