Sweet N Spicy grilled chicken thighs are moist, flavorful, and grilled to perfection!
Sweet n Spicy is my favorite flavor combination for chicken. It's not too spicy, with just the right amount of sweetness. It's delicious all on its own or topped on a fresh crisp salad.
Fire up the grill this summer, and make this easy recipe everyone will enjoy.
Let the rub do its thing for at least two hours, but for best flavor refrigerate overnight.
We prefer chicken thighs in our house. Although you could totally use this on breasts or chicken legs if desired.

Great recipe. I even do pork chops with it. Love the flavors.
Yes, you can you'll just have to cook longer because they have a bone 🙂
