Recipe Instructions:
Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
Easy Lemon Herb Marinade (Optional)
3 tbsp fresh chopped herbs (I use a medley of parsley, oregano, thyme & rosemary)
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh chopped garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
If marinating chicken in lemon herb mixture: Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Set aside, Place chicken in medium sized bowl, and pour marinade mixture over chicken. Using clean hands, mix well to ensure chicken thighs are coated. Place covered in refrigerator for a minimum of 20 minutes but not any more than 4 hours.
Preheat grill to about about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the chicken thighs on the grill for about 6 minutes on each side. Remember to leave the lid closed throughout the cooking process to allow the grill to retain as much heat as possible.
Flip the chicken, and continue to cook for another 6 minutes.
*Chicken Thighs are fully cooked once they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees, but they actually reach a much tender texture once they're to about the 180 degree fahrenheit mark so continue to cook until you reach your desired 'doneness'.
