Delicious Grilled Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs
Grilled Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs are a mouthwatering dish featuring tender, juicy chicken thighs marinated in a blend of garlic, herbs, and olive oil, and then perfectly grilled to bring out the savory flavors. This dish is easy to make and perfect for a family dinner or a summer barbecue.
Ingredients:
– 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and have a light coating of gray ash.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. Serve: Remove the chicken thighs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
