Moroccan-Spiced BBQ Chicken Thighs

Ingredients:

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ras el hanout spice blend (traditional Moroccan spice blend)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Equipment Required:

  • Grill
  • CINNAGRILL® All Natural Cinnamon Fire Starter
  • Charcoal chimney (optional)
  • Tongs
  • Mixing bowl
  • Basting brush
  • Meat thermometer

Directions:

  • Season the Chicken:

Rub each chicken thigh with olive oil and ras el hanout spice blend. Season generously with salt and pepper.

 

  • Prepare the Grill:

Use CINNAGRILL® All Natural Cinnamon Hardwood Premium Charcoal Briquets for a consistent heat and a delicious Spicy Sweet Smoky Flavor.

Light the charcoal using CINNAGRILL® All Natural Cinnamon Fire Starter and a charcoal chimney (optional). Allow the coals to become white-hot, about 15-20 minutes.

 

  • Grill the Chicken:

Place the chicken thighs on the grill over indirect heat.

Grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.

In the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with a mixture of pomegranate molasses and honey. Move the thighs to direct heat to caramelize the glaze.

 

  • Serve:

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
