Ingredients

• 8 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain the juices before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
