Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, salt, olive oil, sugar, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Rub the marinade mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
- Allow the chicken thighs to marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, cover and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 230°C).
- Once the grill is heated, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes, turning only once. The chicken should be golden brown and have grill marks.
- Check for doneness using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a plate.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the grilled chicken thighs hot with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken thighs for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and nice grill marks.
- Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain its juices.
With minimal ingredients and a straightforward cooking process, these grilled chicken thighs are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend barbecue. The combination of spices and the grilling technique ensures that the chicken is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
