Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs and rub each with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly over all sides.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chopped basil, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 2 tbsp chopped thyme, 2 tbsp chopped oregano, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp honey until well combined and fragrant.
3. Step 3: Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the edges have a nice char.
4. Step 4: Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the herb sauce generously over each piece before serving to impart fresh layered herb flavors.
