This stovetop BBQ chicken recipe is quick, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights. With tender, juicy chicken thighs coated in a smoky-sweet BBQ sauce, it’s a family favorite ready in under 30 minutes.
Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken with lime, lemon, or vinegar. Drain well. Pierce the chicken with a knife and lightly pound to tenderize.
Season: In a mixing bowl, season the chicken with green seasoning, salt, black pepper, adobo, and BBQ sauce. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add chicken in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 4 minutes on one side until browned.
Flip and Continue: Flip and cook the other side for another 4 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining pieces.
Serve: Slice and serve hot with your favorite sides.
