Equipment
- Grilling tongs
Ingredients
- 1 tsp kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
Instructions
- Start by preheating your grill to 400F. Next make the seasoning.
- Use measuring spoons to measure out the kosher salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper and place in a small bowl. Stir them together, either with one of the measuring spoons or a small whisk, to thoroughly combine.
- Place the chicken thighs flat on a cutting board and sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture evenly over all of the chicken thighs. Use a pair of grilling tongs to flip the chicken over and sprinkle the remaining seasoning in an even layer over the other side of the chicken thighs.
- Bring the cutting board with the chicken out to the grill and use tongs to place the thighs on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook the chicken for 5 minutes.
- After the 5 minutes are up, open the lid and use the tongs to flip the chicken. Close the lid and cook another 3 minutes.
- Once the 3 minutes are done, check the internal temperature of each chicken thigh. Once the internal temperature reaches around 165F (a couple degrees below is okay as it will cook an extra few degrees after it's off the grill), use tongs to remove the thighs from the grill. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
