Easy Grilled Boneless Chicken Thighs Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS ON A GAS GRILL

Steps:

• Start the skin-on bone-in chicken thighs and seasoning of your choice.
• Preheat grill to 450° surface temperature. That is medium to medium-high heat on most grills. Use the entire grill surface. Clean and oil grill grate well.
• While the grill is preheating, trim the thighs of any trim-able fat and extra skin and allow them to rest at room temperature until the grill is ready.
• Before placing on the grill, give all sides a sprinkle of salt and pepper to your taste. I use my Homemade Seasoning, which is salt, pepper, and garlic powder. But season to your liking. If using skinless thighs, give them a light brushing of vegetable oil.
• Using only half the grill surface, place on the grill over direct heat with skin side UP. Grill for 5-6 minutes, then flip onto the other side of the grill and skin down. Grill for about 4 minutes with the skin down. Continue to go back and forth between sides of the grill and skin up and down with the same timing. If using skinless thighs, you can grill both sides for 5 minutes until done but do alternate sides.
• Grill to 180°-185° internal temperature-about 25 minutes, but this will vary some with your exact grill surface temperature, the temperature of the thighs, and thickness. Boneless will be faster and tend to be thinner, so start checking at 15 minutes.
• Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS RECIPE

• Put the four chicken thighs into a large gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
• Place the olive oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried basil, cumin, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and pepper into the bag with the chicken thighs.
• Slosh the chicken around in the bag to thoroughly coat all sides of the chicken thighs and to make sure all the ingredients are combined.
• Let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat the grill up to medium high heat (350-400 degrees F) and then place the chicken thighs skin side down on a greased grill.
• The chicken thighs will need to cook on each side for about 6-10 minutes depending on their size. Be sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the grill.
• Let the thighs rest for 5- 10 minutes before serving. Top with minced parsley (optional), plate and serve.

GRILLED BONELESS CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high heat (It is very important that the grill is hot before adding the chicken) to at least 350⁰C
• Prepare the chicken thighs by trimming any visible fat as much as you can
• Add smoked paprika, sage, salt, parsley, chilli flakes, garlic powder, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and onion powder into a bowl and mix to combine to make a marinade. (Reserve some marinade for later)
• Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and rub it into the chicken making sure it is well coated (You can add the chicken to a Ziploc instead of a bowl if you don't like touching raw chickeLeave the chicken to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. If using chicken thigh with bone-in, you might want to marinade for longer than 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken thigh from the marinade and place on the hot grill (grease the grill grates with oil). If you are using chicken thigh with skin, place the skin side on the hot grill first.
• Leave to cook for about a minute on the side before flipping, then cook on the other side for another minute or two. Flip a couple of times (baste with the remaining marinade) then place the chicken thighs on the side of the grill that doesn't have direct heat and let the heat from the barbeque continue cooking the chicken. Cover the grill and leave to barbeque for another 5 to 10 minutes.
• The total time for mine was less than 20 minutes, the grilling time should depend on the size of the chicken. A well-done chicken is white and with clear juice running through it.
• If you will be using a meat thermometer, the general rule is to insert the thermometer to the thickest part of the chicken and the internal temperature of the chicken should read at least 165°F/74°C
• Rest the chicken for about 10 minutes before serving and if you can't wait to dip in, this succulent grilled chicken thighs can be eaten immediately.
