Hello again everybody! Sorry it's been so long since I posted! I have no excuse other than the business of life which is really not a good excuse!
Today's recipe is BBQ Chicken Thighs!
Random fact about me: I hate BBQ sauce... Unless it's cooked... Then I LOVE it! :o) Something magical happens when it's cooked!
Random fact about my sister: She likes to dip her bananas in BBQ sauce... Oddness runs in the family!
All you need:
boneless chicken thighs (enough to feed whoever you're feeding)
garlic (as many cloves as you like... I used 2)
olive oil (optional)
BBQ sauce (whatever kind you like... I used a Kansas City kind this time and liked it a lot, but I don't like sweet BBQ sauce at all and a lot of people do, so whatever BBQ sauce you would usually use will be perfect!)
Start by heating up your pan over medium heat and adding the olive oil (or just heat up your pan). Press the garlic into the pan and stir until you can smell it.
Add your chicken thighs. They should sizzle. If they don't, your pan's not hot enough which is fine, just be more patient next time. :o)
Brown the chicken on all sides. It doesn't need to be cooked through now, just browned.
Once browned, turn heat to low, cover, and let cook for 20 minutes.
After that, add your BBQ sauce. It will be watery and look kinda nasty to be honest but don't worry... It will change into a nice thick sauce.
Keep turning and basting the chicken with the BBQ sauce until it reaches the thickness you want. I usually cook it until my mashed potatoes and veggie are done, about 20-30 minutes.
YUM! Excuse my poor choice of veggie as far as pretty pictures go... I know you're not supposed to have that much white on the plate... But it was yummy!
