- Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl. Add the marinade and mix well with your hands (gloves are handy here) until all of the thighs are thoroughly coated.2.2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Place the chicken thighs over a hot grill and cook through turning several times. Boneless chicken thighs take around 10-14 minutes depending on your grill. Thighs are cooked when the temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C or cut the thickest thigh to check it is cooked through. You can also cook them in a hot pan on the stove.
- Slice the chicken thighs and serve on a grazing board. I like to serve it with lemon wedges and kosher salt. but you can add dipping sauce or whatever else tickles your fancy.
