Description

There’s something magical about the sizzle of chicken thighs on the grill. It’s like a symphony of flavors waiting to be unleashed. As a home cook, I’ve always found joy in experimenting with different cuts of meat, but grilled chicken thighs hold a special place in my heart. They are the unsung heroes of the barbecue world, often overshadowed by their more popular counterparts. Yet, they offer a delightful combination of flavor and juiciness that is hard to beat.


Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme


Instructions

1. Mix olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl.

2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag, pour in the marinade, and shake well.

3. Let them marinate for at least an hour, or overnight for best results.

4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

5. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill.

6. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a zip-lock bag for easy cleanup and even coating.

Massage the marinade into the chicken for better absorption.

Refrigerate the marinating chicken to keep it fresh.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in juices.

Brush with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
