Description
A straightforward recipe for cooking flavorful chicken thighs on the grill.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the hot grill grates.
- Grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the skin is crispy and browned.
- Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For juicier results, avoid pressing down on the chicken while it cooks.
- You can use boneless, skinless thighs; reduce the cooking time by about 5 to 7 minutes total.
