Steps:

• Place marinade in a 1-gallon resealable bag and add chicken thighs. Squeeze out most of the air and seal. Gently squeeze contents of the bag until the chicken pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
• Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place marinated chicken thighs on a broiler pan.
• Broil until chicken thighs start to char, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue broiling until the second side is lightly charred, about 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken pieces to a serving platter.

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.

BROILED CHICKEN THIGHS IN YOGURT

Steps:

• PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Put the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the plain yogurt over the top. Season the yogurt with salt and pepper.
• Turn the chicken thighs with your hands until the chicken is well coated with yogurt, then cover the bowl tightly and set aside to marinate in the refrigerator 3-4 hours.
• Heat the broiler. Brush the rack in the broiler pan with oil. Lift the pieces of chicken out of the bowl and with metal spatula, scrape off the yogurt, discarding it.
• Dry the chicken pieces with paper towels and arrange them on the broiler rack.
• Broil the thighs 3-4 inches from the heat until the tops are very brown, about 8-10 minutes. Turn the pieces over.
• Continue broiling until the pieces are very brown and no pink juice runs out when they are pierced with a 2-pronged fork, 7-10 minutes longer. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce.
• CORIANDER SAUCE: Chop the onion and finely chop the garlic. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion until soft and starting to brown. Add the ground coriander and garlic and continue cooking over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Puree the onion mixture with yogurt in a food processor. Add the fresh coriander (cilantro) and puree just until it is chopped.
• Return to the saucepan. Pour in the sour cream, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the sauce, stirring constantly. Taste for seasoning and keep warm. (When heating a sauce that contains sour cream or yogurt, do not let it boil or it will separate.).
• To serve, arrange 2 chicken thighs on each warmed plate and spoon the sauce around them. A nice tabouleh salad would go perfectly with this dish and I recommend Tabouleh Recipe #91403.

BBQ GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Begin by taking out the chicken thighs and pat each one with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• Next, add the garlic powder, chipotle powder, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt into a small bowl and mix all the spices together.
• Pour the spices over the chicken thighs and massage the thighs with the spices and be sure that each chicken thigh is covered with spices.
• Let the chicken thighs sit for at least 30 minutes in the spices (longer is always better). This will help get the juices get flowing and flavor the meat.
• While the chicken is sitting, preheat the grill to 400ºF and make sure there is indirect and direct grilling space on the grill.
• When the chicken is ready, place the chicken on the grill skin side down over direct heat for 4-5 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin.
• Flip the chicken and cook the chicken for another 4-5 minutes.
• Lastly, flip the chicken one more time (skin up) and move it to indirect heat.
• Add a tablespoon or so of BBQ sauce to each chicken thigh and spread out the sauce evenly over the thighs.
• Close the grill and let the BBQ sauce caramelize for 2-3 more minutes and then remove the thighs from the grill.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes and then enjoy with more BBQ sauce.

GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Place the chicken thighs into a large bowl. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the thighs. Toss to coat the chicken in the spices.
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours. (If you're short on time, you can grill right away but marinating is recommended.)
• Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 350F degrees) and carefully oil the grates. Once the grill is hot, place the chicken thighs, skin side down.
• Do not touch the thighs for 7 minutes. You can move them at a 45-degree angle to form diamond grill marks halfway through if you like that look.
• Monitor grill temperature so that it doesn't get too hot.
• Flip the thighs over and let cook for 3 minutes. Then, brush the chicken on the side facing up lightly with bbq sauce. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
• Flip the chicken again, and brush lightly with more bbq sauce on this side. Cook for 2 more minutes. Flip one last time, and brush again with bbq sauce, the skin side should be up at this point.
• Continue to cook until an internal temperature reaches 165°F. About 20 total minutes on the grill. Serve immediately.

LEMON AND HERB MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the lemon juice and zest, chopped herbs, garlic, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Whisk to combine.
• Place the chicken thighs in a wide flat dish so they are in a single layer. Add the herb mixture. Massage the thighs to coat with the herb mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Note: If doing a quick marinade, leave the chicken out of the fridge for up to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill. Brush and oil the grill to clean.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess herbs and oil. Season the chicken generously with salt and drizzle with a little bit of fresh olive oil.
• Cut the 2 whole lemons in half and cut the tips off the ends; this will allow the lemons to stand up without rolling around. Place the chicken, skin side down, on the preheated grill. Place the lemons, flesh side down, on the preheated grill. Grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes and then rotate the chicken 90 degrees to create the lovely crosshatch pattern. Grill the chicken for another 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. Check for doneness (the chicken should be well cooked). Check the lemon halves to see if they are beautifully caramelized. Turn over to grill on the bottom for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the chicken with grilled lemon.
