In a small saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until it becomes golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Next, add 2 cups of ketchup, ½ cup of honey, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon hot sauce, ½ tablespoon black pepper, ¼ cup dark brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes bubbly and thickens slightly.

While the sauce is simmering, coat 3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs with 3 tablespoons of avocado oil. Season the thighs generously with 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ tablespoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Preheat your grill to high heat, aiming for around 400°F. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the grill and cook each side for approximately 4-5 minutes until they develop a nice golden brown sear.

Once the chicken has reached 155°F, generously brush your simmered BBQ sauce over each thigh. Continue cooking until it reaches 165°F, which should take another 5-7 minutes.

Remove the Honey BBQ Chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving warm.
