Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 chicken thighs, boneless, skin on or off

  • 3 peaches, cored, quartered

  • For the Bourbon Peach BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 peach, skin off, cored, diced

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • ½ cup barbeque sauce

  • 3 tablespoons non-alcoholic bourbon alternative (or water)

  • For the Spice Rub:

  • 1 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Season the Chicken: Evenly coat the chicken thighs with the prepared spice rub.

  3. Make the Bourbon Peach BBQ Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the diced peach and sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until the peach softens.

  4. Add the barbeque sauce and non-alcoholic bourbon alternative (or water) to the saucepan. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. Puree the sauce using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Set aside.

  6. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  7. Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side until lightly browned.

  8. Brush the chicken generously with the bourbon peach BBQ sauce. Grill for 1 minute on each side. Repeat with another coating of the sauce, grilling for an additional minute per side. The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  9. Grill the Peaches: While the chicken is resting, lightly brush the peach quarters with the remaining bourbon peach BBQ sauce. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly softened and caramelized.

  10. Serve: Serve the grilled bourbon peach BBQ chicken immediately with the grilled peaches and extra sauce on the side.
