Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds) to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off.
  4. Step 4: Grill chicken thighs skin-side down for 6-7 minutes until the skin is browned and crisp. Flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
