Instructions
-
Debone the chicken thighs, keeping the skin on. If you prefer skinless, you can buy boneless, skinless thighs. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine well. Marinate the chicken in a bowl or a sealable plastic bag for 30 minutes, or preferably for 2 hours.
- Fire up the grill and grill the chicken on both sides until it’s cooked through and the skin is charred. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in an oven at 400°F (207°C) for about 15–20 minutes, or pan-fry it in a skillet over medium to low heat. Serve the chicken warm with lemon wedges.
