Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 thighs Chicken Thighs Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for maximum juiciness and flavor, or opt for boneless for quicker cooking.
For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Low-sodium soy sauce makes this dish a healthier choice.
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil Can be swapped for avocado oil or melted butter if desired.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh minced enhances the marinade’s richness.
  • 1 tablespoon Thyme Fresh thyme elevates the flavor profile.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Omit for milder flavor or replace with paprika.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Infuses a subtle smokiness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust based on your sodium preferences.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Helps tenderize the meat.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • mixing bowl
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper if desired.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight.
  3. About 15 minutes before grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  4. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill skin-side down for 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. After grilling, transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
