Grilled Mediterranean-Inspired Citrus Chicken Thighs
Description
A super simple marinade of lemon juice, garlic, and thyme brings tons of Mediterranean flavor to grilled citrus chicken thighs.
Ingredients
•
1/4 cup olive oil
•
2 medium lemons, juiced
•
2 cloves garlic, crushed
•
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
•
freshly ground black pepper to taste
•
1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Directions
1
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
3
Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
4
Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
