Preheat the Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat.

Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place in a bowl.

Sprinkle garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne over the chicken.

Add lemon juice and mix well to ensure all thighs are coated.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the griddle.

Cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Flip the chicken thighs and reduce heat to medium.

Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Add butter to the griddle and melt it over the chicken.

If using vegetables, add them to the griddle and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Brush BBQ sauce over the chicken thighs during the last few minutes of cooking.

Remove chicken from the griddle and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
