Instructions
Marinate Chicken

Grill Chicken Thighs
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Clean grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade, and place the chicken thighs directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill lid to allow the heat to circulate and cook the chicken evenly. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. Use tongs to flip the thighs halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs and the temperature of your grill.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The thickest part of the meat should reach 165°F (75°C). When it reaches this temp, remove the chicken from the grill.
- Rest the Chicken: Once removed from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs with your favorite sides, serve hot.
