Grilling chicken thighs can be a fun and tasty way to enjoy a meal. Follow these easy steps to make sure your chicken turns out delicious every time!
First, you need to prepare your grill. Turn it on to medium-high heat. This is important because it helps cook the chicken evenly. Before you start grilling, make sure to oil the grates. This will stop the chicken from sticking to the grill, making it easier to flip and remove when it’s done.
Now it’s time to make your chicken taste amazing! You can use a dry rub or a marinade. A dry rub is a mix of spices that you sprinkle on the chicken. A marinade is a liquid mixture that you soak the chicken in for a while. Both methods add lots of flavor. Choose your favorite spices or sauces to make the chicken taste just the way you like it.
Once your grill is hot and your chicken is seasoned, it’s time to start grilling. Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook them for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side. It’s important to make sure the chicken is fully cooked. You can check this by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F. This means it’s safe to eat and will be juicy and delicious.
Here are some extra tips to help you become a grilling pro:
