About this Recipe
We’re celebrating warmer weather with BBQ Chicken Thighs. A simple blend of everyday spices and the press of a button in the Brava yields charred, delicious chicken that’ll rival a grill. As a note, you can line the metal tray with aluminum foil before cooking chicken to minimize cleanup, as marinated proteins are often messier, but note that if you go this route, the chicken won’t char. Cook the thighs directly on the metal tray for more char, though it’s worth noting that this method will require a little more elbow grease to clean the tray after cooking.
