Description

These Simple Grilled Chicken Thighs are juicy and flavorful, perfect for a quick and delicious meal. Marinated in a savory blend of spices, grilled to perfection, these chicken thighs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.


Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together garlic, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
  4. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the marinade.
  • Make sure to let the chicken rest before slicing to keep the juices locked in.
