Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken pieces.
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to get it ready.
3. Grill the Chicken: Brush the chicken pieces with olive oil and place them on the center grill grate for a quick sear.  Then move them to the flat griddle cooktop. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 150°F and the chicken is golden brown and crispy.  Remember, the chicken will continue to cook after you have removed it from the grill so don't overcook it!
4. BBQ Sauce Glaze: During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken generously with BBQ sauce. Allow the sauce to caramelize and create a sticky glaze.
5. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
• Pair the BBQ chicken with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
• You can also use boneless chicken breasts, thighs or "tenders".  If so, make sure you season all sides for best results.
