Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken Thighs
  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs skinless or with skin
Rhubarb BBQ Sauce
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Prepare the Rhubarb BBQ Sauce
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped rhubarb, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook until the rhubarb is soft and the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and brush with rhubarb BBQ sauce. Continue grilling for another 10-15 minutes, basting with sauce until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve
  1. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with extra rhubarb BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the rhubarb BBQ sauce.
