Herb and Garlic Grilled Chicken Thighs
- 1 package Bone In And Skin On Chicken Thighs (1-2 Pounds)
- Kosher Salt and Black Pepper To Taste
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, Chopped
- 1 whole Lemon (juice, Divided Use)
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley
- 1 Tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- Rinse thighs, pat dry and remove any excess skin hanging over the chicken.
- Sprinkle each piece with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- Place chicken into a medium bowl and add in the garlic, rosemary, juice of half a lemon, olive oil, parsley and red pepper flakes.
- Using your hands combine all ingredients making sure each piece is well coated.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 20 minutes.
- Now its time to grill!
- Remove chicken from the fridge and let come to room temperature.
- It is always important to let the meat come to room temperature when grilling cold meat contracts when it hits a hot surface causing the meat to become tough.
- So when preheating your grill let your chicken, steak, whatever come up to temperature.
- Preheat your grill and get that sucker hot, about 400 degrees .
- When hot, place the chicken skin side down and let cook covered for 10 minutes.
- Turn the thighs over and let cook an additional 7 10 minutes.
- They are done when a sharp knife pierces the skin and the juices run clear or a thermometer reads 180 degrees .
- Remove chicken from grill and sprinkle with juice from the remaining half of lemon.
- If youre like me, add a little more crushed red pepper as well.
- I serve this along side buttery smashed red potatoes with thyme and a crisp salad.
- Enjoy!
