This easy boneless and skinless grilled chicken thigh recipe is juicy, tender, delicious and very forgiving (i.e. - it's hard to overcook them).
These easy grilled chicken thighs have a simple dry rub that needs at least 15 minutes to marinate but can also be marinated all day.
Boneless skinless chicken thighs cook fast at ~400F and you can't mess them up. This recipe is finger lickin' good!
Letting meat sit at room temperature prepares it to cook more evenly than if you just put it on the grill or skillet straight from the cold fridge.
People/cooks are different in how long they want certain meats to sit at room temperature. I am only comfortable with 15-30 minutes for chicken. I let beef sit ~ 30-60 minutes outside the fridge before cooking.
Don't have a grill? Easy enough - pan fry the chicken thighs instead. I do it all the time both ways.
Things In My Kitchen:
- Weber Grill - I love this grill. Small but still plenty big enough for 12 chicken thighs and 6-8 steaks. Plus it's easy to clean the grates. You'll want to grab the stand below probably as well.
- Weber Grill Portable Stand - Rollable and compacts.
