Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat (about 7 thighs)
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp Herbs de Provence (can substitute Italian seasoning or other blend)
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp garlic
- 2 tsp kosher salt (or 1 1/2 tsp table salt)
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Herbs de Provence, honey, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the marinade.
- Coat Chicken: Add the trimmed chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade and toss them thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the mixture. Cover the bowl to prepare for marinating.
- Marinate: Transfer the covered bowl to the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for a minimum of 1 hour up to 6 hours to infuse the flavors deeply into the meat.
- Preheat Grill: About 15 minutes before cooking, preheat your grill to 425°F (218°C). Once heated, brush the cleaned grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs onto the preheated grill. Cook them until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), approximately 6 minutes per side, ensuring the meat is cooked through and juicy.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and place it on a platter. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly before serving.
Notes
- Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs before marinating to reduce flare-ups on the grill.
- Marinating time can be adjusted; longer marinating yields more intense flavor but do not exceed 6 hours to avoid mushy texture.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- You can substitute Herbs de Provence with Italian seasoning or another herb blend based on your preference.
- Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent chicken from sticking and tearing.
- Letting the chicken rest after grilling helps keep it moist and tender.
