Grilled Chicken Thighs
Cooking outdoors is so simple and delicious with this Grilled Chicken Thighs recipe! The key to the best-grilled chicken recipe is to marinate the meat for a few days before grilling chicken thighs. This makes tender and juicy chicken effortless.
Equipment
- 1 grill
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs , (about 11)
Marinade:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce, (heaping)
- 1 Tbsp seasoning salt
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2 Tbsp ketchup , (heaping)
- 1 head garlic, (minced)
Instructions
Directions:
- Combine the chicken thighs and marinade, in a large food container.
- Mix well and marinate for at least 24 hours or 2-4 days if the time allows.
- Preheat a grill to high heat (450°F.) Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until the chicken reaches 170°F with a meat thermometer in the thickest part.
- Rest 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Grilled chicken thighs are best reheated in a 9x13 pan with 1/2 cup of water covered at 350°F for 30-45 minutes. This steams the chicken thighs and revives the meat as if it came off the grill.
- Chicken thighs are darker meat so you will want the internal temperature at 170°F.
