Grilled Herbed Chicken Thighs Food

LEMON HERB GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Stir the stock, lemon juice, basil, thyme and black pepper in a small bowl.
• Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken for 35 minutes or until it's cooked through, turning the chicken over halfway through grilling and brushing often with the stock mixture. Discard the remaining stock mixture.

THE BEST GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• thickest part of the chicken breast into uniform thickness aiming for 3/4 inch thick and if very large, cut into uniform sizes roughly 5-6 ounces each.
• Mix marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons (for garnish). Place chicken and marinade in a bowl, baking dish or large zip lock bag and massage to coat all sides well. Marinate for 30 minutes, a few hours, overnight or even a few days.
• Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. (See notes for chicken thighs.) Lift chicken breasts out of the bowl, letting most of the oil drip off -before carefully placing it on the grill. Cut the zested lemons in half, placing open sides down on the grill too. Feel free to add any veggies to the grill- here we added halved tomatoes. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-6 minutes (or until deep golden grill marks appear) before flipping. Cook the other side, 5-7 minutes, and lower heat or move to a cooler spot until the thickest part of the breast registers at 160F and meat is no longer pink, and the meat looks opaque. Let it rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Place the grilled chicken on a serving platter, squeeze generously with the grilled lemon, and tuck in fresh herbs for garnish. Spoon the reserved 2 tablespoons marinade over the chicken, and serve! (NOTE: DO not use the "used marinade" that the raw chicken was in for this!).

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND HERB OIL

Steps:

• Set a large perforated grill pan to one side of a grill's cooking grate. Heat grill to medium-high (450°).
• In a large bowl, whisk together parsley, mint, lemon juice and zest, allspice, 2/3 cup olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Reserve 1/2 cup herb oil and set aside. Whisk 1/4 tsp. salt and the pepper into herb oil in bowl; add chicken and turn to coat well.
• Set chicken next to grill pan and grill, covered, 5 minutes. Discard marinade.
• Gently toss tomatoes with remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil, plus salt and pepper to taste. Arrange tomatoes in a single layer on grill pan. Turn chicken over. Cook tomatoes and chicken, covered, until tomatoes are softened with a bit of char and chicken is nicely browned and cooked through (cut to test), 4 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer tomatoes to a platter. Arrange chicken on top and drizzle with 1/4 cup reserved herb oil. Serve with remaining herb oil.

GRILLED HERBED CHICKEN THIGHS

• Rub mixture into chicken, under and on top of skin.
• Set aside for an hour to let flavors soak into meat.
• Leave longer if you have time.
• Preheat your grill to HOT.
• Once the grill is heated, lower the grill temp to medium then grill on indirect heat with grill closed for 20-30 min or until juices run clear.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry between paper towels. Transfer to a 1-gallon freezer bag.
• Combine soy sauce, orange juice, olive oil, ketchup, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Pour marinade over chicken thighs in the freezer bag. Squeeze out excess air, seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill chicken in a single layer until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PICKLED PEACHES & HERBED COUSCOUS

Steps:

• To prepare chicken: Pulse garlic in a food processor until chopped. Add greens and pulse until chopped. Add oil, red-wine vinegar, crushed red pepper and salt; pulse until combined but not pureed. Divide the sauce into three 1/3-cup portions.
• Thread chicken onto 4 skewers. Baste both sides with 1/3 cup sauce. Set in a baking dish or on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Meanwhile, prepare pickled peaches: Combine white vinegar, water, sugar, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Place peaches and onion in a wide-mouth mason jar or large nonreactive bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over them. (Make sure the peaches and onion are completely submerged.) Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous and return to a simmer. Cover and remove from heat.
• Oil the grill rack. Turn off one burner. Grill the chicken over direct heat until it is marked and releases easily, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and baste with 1/3 cup of the reserved sauce. Grill until it releases easily, 4 to 5 minutes more. Move the chicken to indirect heat and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the remaining 1/3 cup sauce and pine nuts. Serve the chicken with the couscous and pickles.

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.
• Call yourself a superstar!
