Equipment

  • 1 grilling pan or barbecue grill
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 pot for boiling
  • 1 whisk or fork
  • 1 serving platter

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup celery (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 pieces hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mix honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  • Preheat your grilling pan or barbecue grill over medium-high heat.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and place on the grill. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Grill chicken for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
  • Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired). Cut them into 1-inch cubes and place in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and let cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and mix until smooth.
  • Once the potatoes are cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing, along with chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs.
  • Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with paprika before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the BBQ marinade.
The potato salad can be made a day ahead for better flavor.
Serve the chicken and potato salad together for a classic Southern meal.
