In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder until well combined.
Pat the boneless, skinless chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Drizzle avocado oil over both sides and coat with spice rub.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) and clean and oil the grates.

In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the BBQ sauce.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
