Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Heat the grill to 425°F, or heat the oven to 425°F. Cut the chicken thighs into 1–1½-inch pieces, cube the potatoes, and slice the pepper and red onion so everything cooks at about the same speed.

  2. 2

    Toss the chicken with ½ cup barbecue sauce, oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in the potatoes, bell pepper, and onion until the sauce is spread around.

  3. 3

    Set out four heavy-duty foil sheets and divide the mixture among them. Fold the short sides together twice, then tuck the ends up tightly, leaving a little air space for steam.

  4. 4

    Grill the packets for 20–25 minutes, turning once, or bake them on a sheet pan for 25–30 minutes. Open one carefully; the chicken should reach 165°F and the potatoes should give easily to a fork. Spoon over the remaining barbecue sauce.
