Preheat grill to 350ºF.
Lay each chicken thigh skin side down on a work surface. Place 1 jalapeño popper in the center of each thigh. Roll it up and secure with toothpicks.
Dust each chicken thigh with Sweet BBQ Love seasoning.
Grill approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour (or internal temp of 165ºF), basting with The Original BBQ sauce on all sides during the last 15 minutes.
Baking Instructions: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chicken thigh poppers on baking sheet and roast in the oven for 1 hour (internal temp 165ºF), basting during the last 15 minutes.
