Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-blended and coat the chicken thighs.

  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 450°F), ensuring grates are clean and oiled.
  4. Grill chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes per side or until charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F, brushing with BBQ sauce during the last minute.
  5. Brush quartered peaches with BBQ sauce and grill for 1-2 minutes per side until tender.
  6. Serve grilled chicken on a platter with caramelized peaches and drizzle any leftover sauce.
