Notes

Is it better to cook chicken on high or low? Cooking on low will always help keep your chicken moist and tender. Cooking on high can cause your chicken to overcook and become dry.
What kind of bbq sauce should I use? For this recipe, you can use any BBQ your family enjoys. We love using Sweet Baby Rays. 
Can I bake this in the oven? Yes, these chicken thighs can also be baked in the oven. I have a recipe for it and you can find all the directions here, Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs.
