- 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 Tbsp onion flakes
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp parsley flakes
- 1 tsp pepper of choice (black, cayenne, red flakes)
Prepare spices in a bowl or shaker and thoroughly combine.
Pat chicken thighs dry and unfold each, pat dry with paper towels, and place onto a large pan. Lightly drizzle with oil and spread around with a brush.
Heavily sprinkle your seasonings until the thighs are covered with the blend of spices. Using tongs, turn over and repeat with the light drizzle of oil and rest of the prepared seasoning.
Heat grill. We use an outdoor gas grill.
Place the prepared thighs onto a hot, clean grill and lower the heat to medium. Allow the thighs to cook for approximately 6 minutes, then turn over, and grill another 4-7 minutes. Adjust according to your grill and the size of the thighs. Ensure the thickest part of the meat is at least 175° and the bits of fat on the thighs has been rendered.
