Ingredients
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F–400°F).
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 175°F–185°F and the skin is crispy.
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a light salad.
