Ingredients

• 4 Whole chicken thighs, marinated
• 1 Cup marinade of choice
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil

Steps

1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken smooth-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Sear and Finish: For a good sear, start with the smooth side down. Once seared, flip the chicken and close the grill lid to finish cooking evenly.
5. Boil Extra Marinade: If you wish to use the leftover marinade as a sauce, bring it to a boil in a small saucepan for at least 3 minutes to kill any bacteria.
6. Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
