Step 1

Season both sides of chicken thighs to taste. Use a total of 1 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 tsp Mrs. Dash Seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Turn the chicken to coat evenly with seasoning.

Step 2

Stir in 1 Tbsp Mayo and mix the chicken until evenly coated.

Step 3

Add thick-sliced onion and toss everything together. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and marinate 6 hours or overnight.

Step 4

Preheat the grill and generously brush grill plates with oil. Reduce heat to low and place chicken thighs with a smooth side up.

Step 5

Cover the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes. Rotate them once to make criss-cross grill marks. Before flipping the thighs, baste them with BBQ Sauce.

Step 6

Flip thighs over, baste the flip side with BBQ sauce then cover and cook for another 12-15 minutes, rotating once to make grill marks. Check for doneness by cutting the thicker part of the chicken. If juices run clear then it's done.

Step 7

Flip the chicken again, coat it with BBQ sauce and remove from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

For baking, preheat Oven to 400˚F. Place Chicken thighs flat with the smooth side up on a large rimmed baking dish, spaced out in a single layer. Bake at 400˚F for 30 mins.

Step 9

Increase heat to 450˚ and remove chicken from oven to brush the tops and sides generously with BBQ sauce. Return chicken to the oven another 5 minutes or until glaze has dried slightly onto the chicken.
