Ingredients
Protein
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8 thighs)
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
Spices
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Optional toppings & finishing
- Lemon wedges, extra chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil For serving
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs to create a marinade.
- Place the boneless chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken thighs for about 6–7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear (internal temp 165°F).
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Pat thighs dry before marinating for better adherence. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking and ensure grill marks. Use an instant-read thermometer for doneness check. Pair with grilled corn, coleslaw, and warm pita or tortillas for a complete meal.
