Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are coated well.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for optimal flavor).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Clean grates thoroughly.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes for even cooking.
- Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
- For added sweetness, consider incorporating honey into the marinade.
- Swap herbs based on availability; cilantro or fresh basil can offer unique flavors.
- Always let grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
