Grilled Chicken Thigh & Quick Salad

Recipe
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken Thighs
  • 2 Tbsp. of Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. of Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbsp. of Olive Oil
  • 1 Tsp. of Thyme
  • 1 Tsp. of Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp. of Mayo

Method
 

  1. First, marinate your chicken for 20/30 Minutes if you have time. Marinate the chicken with your soy sauce, 1 Tbsp. of the lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil, thyme, and garlic powder.
  2. While the chicken marinates, make your grill sauce. Mix the mayo with the remaining lemon juice and olive oil. Set this aside for when you start to grill the chicken.
  3. Fire up your grill and make sure your grill is nice and hot. Set up a hot side and a cool side on the grill.
  4. Once you put your chicken thighs on the grill, allow each side to sear well. I’d say three to five minutes on each side (be careful not to burn the meat or dry it out). Also be mindful that since chicken thigh has a higher fat content its fat will drip and cause some flames to spark up, so watch out for burning your chicken.
  5. Once the chicken has a nice brown coating on each side, apply your first coat of the grill sauce. Put the chicken on your cooler side of the grill. Close the lid and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes. Check for doneness by using an instant read meat thermometer.
  6. Once the chicken is done, add one more light coat of the grill sauce and serve with your quick salad.
  7. Enjoy!
