Carolina Gold BBQ Chicken | Spicy-Sweet Glazed

For the Carolina Gold BBQ sauce, stir together the mustard, apple cider vinegar, liquid honey, cane sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer gently over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and has a wonderful shine. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Pat the boneless chicken thighs dry. In a bowl, mix the vegetable oil with smoked paprika, garlic powder, fine salt, and ground black pepper. Turn the meat thoroughly in the mixture so that all sides are evenly coated with the marinade.

Prepare the grill for medium direct and indirect heat (alternatively, preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat with the grill function). Grill the marinated chicken thighs first over direct heat or on a wire rack in the upper third of the oven for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until they develop light grill marks and fine roasted aromas.
