Grilled Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Food

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.

THE BEST GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Grill chicken for 6 - 7 minutes per side, or until their internal temperature reaches 165˚F.

GRILLED BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Take your chicken thighs out of the fridge and season them 20-30 minutes before they hit the grill.
• Preheat your grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I achieve this temperature by turning on all three burners and setting each to medium heat.
• Make sure your grill grates are clean and grease them up! Then add your chicken thighs to the preheated grill. I usually cook 6-8 at one time. Position them so they are slightly over the flame.
• Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes. Try not to peek! Each time you open the lid the heat escapes and it takes time to return to optimal cooking temperature. But, a caveat! Chicken thighs are not always the same size so you may need to flip smaller ones sooner - just be quick about it!
• At around 5-7 minutes, open the grill and check out the smallest chicken thighs first. You should start seeing some nice grill marks. Flip those thighs! I also recommend rearranging as you may have "hot spots" where chicken cooks faster - I know I do! Mine are toward the back of the grill so I tend to rotate chicken thighs from the back up to the front as I flip.
• Cover the grill and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes. Again, try not to peek! Each time you open the lid the heat escapes and it takes time to return to optimal cooking temperature. But, a caveat! Chicken thighs are not always the same size so you may need to remove the smaller ones closer to 5 minutes. Do so quickly! Then re-cover and let the larger thighs finish cooking.
• Note: You may want to consider taking the internal temperature of your chicken before removing it from the grill (by inserting a thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh). The USDA recommends cooking to an internal temperature of 165 F. To be honest, I remove chicken from the grill when it's in the 155-160 F range and let carryover cooking finish them as they rest.
• Let the chicken thighs rest for five minutes before digging in. This lets carryover cooking finish the job and ensures the juices stay in the chicken. Dig in too soon and all your juices will be on the cutting board, not in your chicken.
• Enjoy moist, juicy, smoky chicken!
