Grilled Chicken Thighs With White Barbecue Sauce

I know yesterday was the first day of spring. I know it's March 21 and the temperature is suppose to be in the high 50's. But at my house it was 88 degrees F. I am loving it. Time to fire up the grill again today. The recipe came from a magazine a couple of years ago. That's all I know, and it's excellent.

1. Combine first 7 ingredients until blended. Rinse chicken, and pat dry; rub seasoning mixture over chicken. Place chicken in a zip-lock freezer bag. Seal and chill at least 4 hours. I do mine over night.
