Grilled Chicken Thighs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.

   • Add the chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly with the marinade.

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2–4 hours for more flavor).

2. Preheat the Grill:

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

3. Grill the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill.

   • Cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden.

4. Rest and Serve:

   • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing from the grill.

   • Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh basil leaves.

   • Serve hot with your favorite sides.
