Staying true to my southern American roots, I served this barbecue chicken with the most incredible mashed potatoes and creamed corn.
If your mouth isn't watering now, just wait until you sink your gnashers into this super juicy chicken. It's finished off with a drizzle of lip-smacking fresh lime and is the perfect sticky fingers, not-suitable-for-a-first-date barbecue chicken thighs! In fact, it's the only barbecue chicken thighs recipe you'll need. Promise. Oh, and it's easy as pie!
1/2 bottle gluten free barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon garlic granules/powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 lime
750 grams boneless chicken thighs
salt
pepper

If (and that's a very big if) there are any leftovers, they would make an excellent lunch the next day. This recipe would also be great for a picnic, too! I used boneless chicken thighs because they're naturally succulent and juicy and much tastier than chicken breasts, but this recipe would be great with any cut of chicken. Swirl a pack of drumsticks in that sauce or smother a tray of chicken wings.
