Description
Simple recipe for grilling chicken thighs marinated with lemon and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place chicken thighs skin-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side.
- Continue grilling, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (about 20 to 25 minutes total cooking time).
- Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For crispier skin, pat the chicken dry before placing it on the grill after marinating.
- You can substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs; use 1 tablespoon each of fresh oregano and fresh thyme.
