Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6-8 bone-in chicken thighs about 3 pounds (skin removed if desired)
- kosher salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- additional seasonings of your choice see above
Instructions
- Preheat the grill for medium-high heat, about 350°F - 375°F. Sprinkle the chicken generously with spices on both sides of each piece.
- Cook the chicken over the heat for 4 minutes per side, until the pieces turn golden and grill marks appear. The lid should be closed throughout the cooking process.
- Flip the pieces once more and turn heat to medium-low, about 300°F, for 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through and the internal temp is 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
For boneless, skinless chicken thighs: Cook the meat 6 minutes on each side. Check for doneness. Cook an additional 2-4 minutes, only as needed.
