Servings 0
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken Thighs
- 1 tablespoon Dry Rub per thigh
Instructions
- Heat grill to about 400°F (204°C)
- Season the chicken thighs using your desired seasoning. If using a dry rub or salt and pepper, allow to warm to almost room temperature before seasoning. If using a marinade, allow the chicken to warm slightly before placing on the grill.
- Place the chicken thighs over direct heat and allow to cook for 3 minutes on each side.
- Once each side has cooked over direct heat, move to indirect heat and allow to cook for an additonal 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once the correct interal temperature has been reached, remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Cook over direct heat for 3 minutes on each side to help the seasoning to stick to the meat and crisp up the skin on the thighs.
Allow the chicken to come almost to room temperature before seasoning and placing on the grill.
If marinating, don't let the chicken soak for more than 24 hours. Allow to warm slightly before placing on the grill.
Use bone-in skin-on thighs to get as much flavor as possible.
