Interesting Facts

Texas BBQ is known for its bold and smoky flavors that come from slow cooking over wood-fired pits.

Chicken thighs are perfect for grilling as they stay moist and tender while absorbing the flavors of the BBQ sauce.

Adding brown sugar to the BBQ sauce gives the chicken a caramelized and sticky exterior, adding even more flavor.
