Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lemony herb olive oil sauce
  • 1.5-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or grease, for grill grates or grill pan
  • Fresh herbs and lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the lemon herb sauce by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl, stirring in the chopped herbs, and finishing with high-quality olive oil.
  2. Reserve half the sauce for serving. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and toss with tongs until well coated.
  3. Optional: Add fresh lemon wedges to the marinade for extra citrus flavor.
  4. Marinate for at least 1 hour (up to 6 hours).
  5. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat or prep your outdoor grill. Grease the grates or pan lightly.
  6. Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until cooked through to 165°F (74°C) and nicely charred.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved sauce and garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices.
