  1. Pat the thighs dry, toss with olive oil, and season with salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and pepper.
  2. Set up a two-zone grill and preheat to medium-high, around 400°F.
  3. Grill the thighs skin-side down over indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 20 minutes, turning once.
  4. Brush with barbecue sauce and move over direct heat for 2 minutes per side to caramelize the glaze.
  5. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
