Grilled Mediterranean-Inspired Citrus Chicken Thighs

Citrus/herb flavored chicken thighs. Serve with couscous or orzo and freshly steamed vegetables. I like to serve this with the Orzo with Parmesan and Basil recipe on this site by DODIEPAJER.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
• 2 medium lemons, juiced
• ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 4

Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
