This simple but succulent grilled chicken thigh recipe is one every home cook needs to keep in their back pocket. It\u2019s as delicious in sandwiches as it is on salads or just whipped up for an easy dinner. It\u2019s packed full of flavor, perfectly moist, and works every time.<\/p>\n

Using thigh meat rather than breast ensures it stays nice and juicy (thanks to the higher fat content) and marinating the meat before packs it with flavor and helps to keep it tender. It\u2019s a pretty forgiving recipe so if you\u2019re new to grilling meat, this is a great place to start.<\/p>\n

Why Boneless Skinless Thighs?<\/h2>\n

Boneless skinless chicken thigh is one of our favorite cuts for grilling, and it has much to recommend it over its bone-in counterpart. When cooking over high heat, it can be hard to get uniformity with bone-in meat. The thicker, uneven shape of a thigh with the bone in makes it harder to gauge when it\u2019s cooked through. Boneless chicken thighs are almost the same thickness throughout so they cook much more evenly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The way boneless thighs are cut allows them to lay flat on the grill, creating a better surface area for even cooking. They\u2019re also incredibly versatile and quick to cook, making them an ideal weeknight dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Times & Temperatures<\/h2>\n

Chicken thigh is a forgiving cut of meat thanks to its high fat content but checking the internal temperature will ensure it never ends up over or undercooked. The ideal temperature for cooked chicken is 165\u00b0F (75\u00b0C).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cooking the thighs for 4-5 minutes per side on medium-high heat 375-450\u00b0F (190-230\u00b0C) should give you the perfect chicken but it\u2019s best to go by the internal temperature to be sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
